The 2015 International Centre for Women Playwrights 50/50 Applause Awards: International and more consistent support for women playwrights swells in theaters!
The International Centre for Women Playwrights (ICWP) is delighted to report the increasingly consistent and diverse recipients for this year’s 50/50 Applause Awards, which sets out to recognize theatres that produced 50% or more women playwrights in their season of shows. ICWP defines 50/50 by the number of qualifying performances in a theater’s season. While these theaters are serving as role models, ICWP recognizes that the average of productions of women playwrights internationally continues to remain under 25%.
The Bread & Roses Theatre is honoured to become a recipient of the award in its very first years of existence!
