Women’s Caucus Makes Waves on International Women’s Day

On this year’s International Women’s Day, members of PGC’s Women’s Caucus took the opportunity to remind theatre companies of the need to produce works by female playwrights.  Scripts by some of Canada’s leading writers were sent to the Artistic Directors of Montreal’s Centaur Theatre Company, Vancouver Playhouse, and Soulpepper Theatre in Toronto.
