GLO
Written and Directed by Women
Shakespeare became legendary without even one of us on his stage. Ziegfeld got famous by having nothing but us on his stage. We’re in the chorus of your favorite musical. We’ve broken your heart in every Tennessee Williams play. But what about the women you don’t see in the theatre? Green Light Productions invites you to GLO, featuring five new one-act plays all written and directed by women. Come and see for yourself what women are really doing in theatre.
