Theater has long been considered as a male pursuit, particularly when it comes to leadership. Shakespeare who is still considered the most influential playwright ever and wrote during an age when women were once not permitted to perform. Throughout the centuries women writers have not been supplied the same publishing opportunities as men. Strand Theater has been saturated with male voices. Plays often emphasize on the struggles men face; female characters are secondary. The result is fewer roles for women as well as even fewer roles of significance. The 1990s supplied a dramatic influx of female voices to the stage. The male standbys were replaced by these progressive women willing to explore theater in a revolutionary way. Strand Theater wishes to celebrate these trailblazers and pledge to bring new female voices to the forefront.
