Women wrote classics, too. And we’re here to celebrate them! We're spilling the tea on awesome plays by women that are *classics* as we fight for a gender-expansive canon. Timely, producible, excellent - these are plays you want to know. Each episode is dedicated to a different play and playwright. It's the podcast version of Expand the Canon ( http://www.expandthecanon.com/ ).com but with more puns. Perfect for the theater makers, theater goers, and theater teachers among us who are jazzed about diversity in the classics. This is a podcast by Hedgepig Ensemble Theatre, a non-profit company in Brooklyn, NY. Support the Podcast and Expand the Canon at expandthecanon.com ( http://expandthecanon.com )
