Our Mission
The Mission of WOMEN AT PLAY is to enrich the life of the Columbus community with plays that explore women's perspectives and relationships.  The group has folded its tents, but not entirely disbanded: our website remains for those who wish to order our plays and for those who wish to know about future planned staged readings. Hope to see you there!

Identity
For twelve years WOMEN AT PLAY wrote and performed their own dramas, accompanied by male and female guest artists. They also have performed plays and adaptations written by others that focus on women's experiences. Presently  WOMEN AT PLAY are involved in a series of staged readings. To inquire about scripts contact Katherine Burkman at burkman.2@osu.edu.
