About SheNYC Arts

A group of theater professionals showcasing the talents of female writers and other theater artists, proving that there is no reason for male writers, directors and composers to have the overwhelming majority of produced work in New York City.

SheNYC is comprised of a group of theater professionals who strive to showcase the talents of female writers and other theater artists, proving that there is no reason for male writers, directors and composers to have the overwhelming majority of produced work in New York City. Each summer, we produce our Summer Theater Festival in both New York City and Los Angeles. Year-round, we provide women writers, composers, and directors with resources to jump-start their careers in the theater industry.

Our Three-Tier Mission

 

WE SUPPORT CREATION AND PRODUCTION

We support the creation and production of meaningful, powerful, and commercially viable works of female writers, composers, directors, and actors.

WE PROMOTE INCLUSION

We work to promote the inclusion of theatrical works by women into the mainstream audience, and prove to industry professionals that producing theatre by women is imperative to our collective artistic livelihood and legacy.

WE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY

We continue to fight for equal opportunity, access, pay, and representation of female creatives on Broadway, off-Broadway, and across the country.
