LADIES FIRST is a list of new productions, workshops, readings, and publications by female playwrights. Our goal is to create greater gender parity in theatre by highlighting the works of female writers and the organizations that promote and produce their works.

Join us Monday, January 15th for a staged reading of the winning pieces from Little Black Dress INK’s 2017 ONSTAGE Festival. The performance begins at 7 PM at the Zephyr Theatre, 7456 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046. Free admission!
