AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The LA Female Playwrights Initiative (www.lafpi.com) is a grassroots organization. It has commissioned a study of the play-producing tends in the LA theater community from 2000-2009. Responses are requested from LA-based playwrights and theater companies by July 30, 2010. Our goal is to find out the number of productions by male/female playwrights put up on LA stages over the last ten years. Please report and let your voice be heard.

If you are an LA-based playwright or representative of an LA-based company, your participation is requested. If you are in ANY WAY connected to an LA-based playwright or LA-based theater company, please pass this information on to them.

Thank you,
