By: BWW News Desk Feb. 03, 2017
Theatre Production Company Parity Productions has released its monthly list of Qualifying Productions for February - their directory of New York City shows in which the individual creative teams include 50% women and transgender artists (directors, designers, and playwrights).
Parity Productions is New York's theatre company that is dedicated to developing and producing new work and committed to hiring a minimum of 50% women and transgender playwrights, directors, and designers on each show they produce. In addition, part of their mission is to provide substantial promotional support to other shows that meet the 50% hiring standard in the form of social media, email blasts, PR support, and placement in their Qualifying Productions Directory.
"Now more than ever, Parity Productions is committed to helping its colleagues in the theatre industry that are demonstrating a commitment to gender parity. It's an imperative!" says Artistic Director and Founder Ludovica Villar-Hauser. "We have many thousands of followers in social media who want to know which shows and companies are helping to further gender parity in their work. This helps our audiences, who want to make an impact, with their ticket purchasing choices."
