Women Count

Women Count releases an annual data report of published analyses of production credits to assess questions of gender parity in theater hiring decisions since 2014. The goal of the report series is to change the conversation from anecdotes to advocacy on behalf of female and non-binary playwrights, directors, and off-stage theater workers. Each Women Count report tracks 13 employing categories for each production observed: playwright, director, set designer, lighting designer. costume designer, sound designer, projection/video designer, choreographer, composer/original music, lyricist, conductor/music director, production stage manager, and stage manager/assistant stage manager.
