The Early 'Stages' of Female Playwrights: The Provincetown Players

This week, we're talking about the early origins of a community experimental theatre group called "The Provincetown Players" that produced some of America's best theatrical works and thrived in the Greenwich Village of New York City. They also were extremely progressive by bringing women playwrights, directors, and actresses to the forefront of the theater scene, with many of them winning Pulitzer prizes and other awards for their works. We talk about the founding and fall of The Provincetown Players and the many esteemed women who took part in it including Susan Keating Glaspell, Neith Boyce, Djuana Barnes, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Louise Bryant, and Mary Heaton Vorce.
