MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION:
In an age before women had rights, what price independence? A mother and daughter find out more than they bargained for on a hot summer's day.
'PROFESSION': The term is derived from the Latin: "to swear (an oath)". The oath referred to dictates adherence to ethical standards, which invariably include practitioner/client confidentiality, truthfulness, and the striving to be an expert in one's calling.

George Bernard Shaw
Born in Dublin. His first success was as a music and literary critic, but he was drawn to drama. He decided to write plays. He was fiercely proud of being a free-thinking humanist. He and Al Gore are the only people to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar: (Nobel in 1925 for his contribution to literature, an Oscar in 1938 for his PYGMALION screenplay). His dedication to the battle for Human Rights for all, and encouraging all people to forge an individual path in life while taking responsibility for these life choices has been our inspiration. Now in its fourth year, Project Shaw will present every play ever written by Shaw. Join our Project Shaw group on Facebook!
The Players -- Project Shaw performs at New York's most legendary private club, The Players. Located at 16 Gramercy Park South, (which is the equivalent of 20th St east of Park Avenue). In 1888, Edwin Booth, America's pre-eminent Shakespearean actor, and 15 other incorporators, including Mark Twain and General William Tecumseh Sherman, founded The Players. Modeled after London's famed theatrical club, The Garrick. The Players was the first American club of its kind. The club boasts portraits by, among others, John Singer Sargent, as well as unique theatrical memorabilia. For more information about the club click on the link below, or phone 212-475-6116.
