[Candrama] Large Cast Plays by Canadian Women

[PGC Membership Rebecca Burton]

Hello Everyone,

 

I posed this question on the Canadian Theatre Research and Performance
Facebook page, but I thought I would send it out here as well:

 

What are your favourite large cast (6 or more characters) plays by Canadian
women?

 

I ask because Equity and Diversity in the Arts at UTSC and Equity in Theatre
(EIT) <http://www.eit.playwrightsguild.ca/>  are spearheading P.L.E.D.G.E (a
Production Listing for Enhancing Diversity and Gender Equity). Our first
major project is the creation of a database of large-cast Canadian plays by
women. The database will help students, educators, and others find and
familiarize themselves with a rich selection of work by Canadian women
playwrights that can be included in curriculum and/or selected for mainstage
production; a necessary endeavour, since only 17% of the works produced on
our university and college mainstages are written by women (Hansen and
Elser).

 

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

 

Rebecca
