Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director David Staller, announces its 2017 Season to be presented at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street).

The 2017 Project Shaw Season will include Mrs. Warren's Profession (January 16), Candida (February 13), You Never Can Tell (April 17), Press Cuttings (May 22), Getting Married (June 26), Super Shaw Women (July 17), Rachel Crother's A Man's World (September 18), Captain Brassbound's Conversion (October 23), Elizabeth Robins's Votes for Women (November 20), and Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance (December 18).

David Staller commented on the 2017 Season, saying: "WOMEN TAKE THE STAGE! We're celebrating 100 years of women's rights in New York with our 12th season of Project Shaw. Not only will we be offering some of Shaw's most iconographic strong women, we'll be bringing you plays examining the struggle for equal rights with two plays written by women in the early part of the 20th century, Elizabeth Robins and Rachel Crothers. As a bit of icing on the cake, we'll return to Oscar Wilde to end the season with his ground-breaking look at women challenging society. Guest directors to be announced shortly."

Single Tickets are $35 and are available by calling (212) 864-5400 or online at www.symphonyspace.org VIP (reserved) seats are available by phoning the GTG office 212-355-7823., as are discounts for purchasing the entire season in advance.

Now celebrating its 11th year, Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw made history in December 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches). They are now also including plays by writers who most inspired Shaw to begin his playwriting career, including work by Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde, Barrie and Harley Granville-Barker--while continuing its new play development and educational programs.

Gingold Theatrical Group devotes its programming to works embracing human rights and free speech with the humanitarian vision of George Bernard Shaw as its guide.

The 2016 season continues on Nov. 23 with J.M. Barrie's Alice Sit-By-The-Fire, and on Dec. 21 with Shaw's Androcles and the Lion.

For those interested in lively off-site discourses, each Project Shaw event is followed by a talk-back with cast members. GTG's David Staller is also hosting a monthly Shaw Club discussion group. They meet the Wednesday before every Project Shaw event at 520 8th Avenue. Reservations required 212-355-7823 or info@gingoldgroup.org.

Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre space is completely disabled accessible. Symphony Space is located in Manhattan at 2537 Broadway (at 95th Street).
