This past year, a brand-new organization called The Kilroys solicited nominations from over 140 theatre professionals (primarily artistic directors and literary managers) for their favorite new plays by female-identified playwrights. In June they published The List -- the top 46 of these plays. Dry Land was one of the most recommended, and many playwrights Colt Coeur has collaborated with in the past were also on the list. In the spirit of continuing to champion gender parity in the theatre, we are hosting a Festival of Readings of plays by women during the run of Dry Land. The plays included are as follows:

Scandinavian American Theater Company (SATC) will present the World Premiere of BASTARDS OF STRINDBERG.

It is as gut-wrenching as it is funny, and while the play's characters may be young, the challenges facing them are ageless.
