       *** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE           20 October 1998 ***

The International Center for Women Playwrights (ICWP) is proud to announce
more Global Readings of member works, taking place in October and November.

The second group of readings will take place:
  - Sun., October 25 -- 42nd Street WorkShop, 432 W. 42th St.,
                        New York, NY, USA
  - Sat., November 14 --  Hastings Centennial Manor Auditorium
                          Bancroft, Ontario, CANADA

Other readings are upcoming in Toronto, Baltimore, and Los Angeles,
with more being organized.  Successful readings took place earlier
this month in Portland, Oregon and Grand Fork, North Dakota.

Earlier this year, ICWP member playwrights spearheaded "Readings for
Ratna", an international series of more than 20 play readings on three
continents, on behalf of then-imprisoned Indonesian playwright Ratna
Sarumpaet.  Ms. Sarumpaet was released from detention on 20 May 1998.

The mission of the International Center for Women Playwrights is to
support women playwrights around the world by:
          - bringing international attention to their achievements
          - encouraging production of their plays, translation,
publication, and international distributions of their works
          - providing means for communication and contact among the sister
community of the world's women dramatists
          - assisting them in developing the tools of their craft, in
determining their own artistic forms, and in setting their own critical
standards
          - encouraging scholarly and critical examination and study of
the history and the contemporary work and concerns of women playwrights
          - supporting their efforts to gain professional equality, and to
express their own personal, artistic, social, and political vision without
censorship, harrassment, or personal danger
