Wisdom Anthology: Plays and Screenplays by Women Over 50 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An inspirational second act book for women in the arts, the ARTemis Arts Wisdom Anthology is the first-ever collection of plays and screenplays written by women over 50.

Much has been said about the need for diversity in the arts industry, but its deep-seated ageism is often overlooked. Opportunities are most often afforded to the same set of young, prodigious, and mostly male creators.

While these men default to a seasoned, wizened status as their careers mature, talented female artists often simply become . . . invisible.

The ARTemis Arts Wisdom Anthology is the antidote to women over fifty going unrecognized in the arts industry.

Inside you'll find fifteen works, all new, all unproduced, some ready for the stage, some for workshops, three for the screen, and all written by women of age who have faced severely limited opportunities to test, perform, or publish these works.

From ten-minute and one-act plays to full-length plays and screenplays, each piece is a testimony to the wisdom of these women, proving that age should never be a barrier to an artist's opportunity and that the phrase "emerging artist" should have no number in front of it.

The ARTemis Arts Wisdom Anthology features fifteen plays and screenplays by:

• Mimi Ayers
• Marjorie Bicknell
• Rebecca Cutter
• Ellen Doyle
• Yvette Heyliger
• Irene Aubry Kellogg
• Brenda Kenworthy
• Marilyn MacCrakin
• Vita Patrick Morales
• Dana Schwartz
• Nancy Temple
• Rosemary FrisinoToohey
• Andrea Trotenberg
• Loretta Bolger Wish

"The default definition of 'emerging' seems to be young and unknown. But what of the writers over fifty who have yet to be discovered-who are young in spirit, full of passion, blessed with wisdom born of life's experience?"

-Valerie Curtis-Newton, head of directing at the UW School of Drama and founding artistic director for The Hansberry Project, a professional African American theatre lab
