PFP's Women's Work endeavors to enhance the visibility of excellent sreenplays and stage plays written by women with lesbian characters or themes.
The program is open to all women, regardless of sexual orientation, whose writing is pertinent to the lesbian community and relevant to the world.
Only with concerted and continuing dedication can we help raise the quality and quantity of superlative Sapphic scripts across the country.
While gay scripts have had a steady production history - from Oscar Wilde to Tennessee Williams, Tony Kushner, and today's brashest writers - lesbian scripts have a checkered history at best.
There have been great works along the way by writers such as Jane Chambers, Claudia Allen, Paula Vogel, and others. But without a united, ongoing effort, lesbian scripts falter.
