From bold individual defiance to the strength of unified movements, they reveal the transformative power of those who rise up and refuse to back down.
Special Collection: "Dreams and Determination"
When passion drives the impossible. These plays delve into the relentless pursuit of purpose, where ambition meets adversity and identities are forged through challenge. With humor, heartbreak, and hope, they illuminate the transformative power of dreaming big and striving forward—even when the odds are overwhelming.
Special Collection: "Moral Dilemmas"
These plays navigate the uncharted waters of self-discovery, from rebuilding after loss to confronting corporate corruption and escaping into vivid fantasies. Rooted in courage, imagination, and determination, they inspire audiences to brave their own storms and chart a course toward brighter horizons.
Featured Writer: Lucy Wang
Lucy Wang grew up in Akron, Ohio, where her parents warned her against becoming a starving artist. So, in a past life, she traded bonds on Wall Street and served as Deputy Chief of Staff for a New York City mayor. When this re-election bid failed, Lucy launched her writing career.
Her play Junk Bonds received an award from the Kennedy Center, Best New Play from the Katherine and Lee Chilcote Foundation, and a two-page profile in The New York Times, leading to multiple productions. Her plays have since been performed across the U.S. and internationally. Her manuscripts are archived at the Huntington Library and the University of California, Santa Barbara. After selling a half-hour TV comedy pilot, feminist icon Gloria Steinem encouraged Lucy to try stand-up—an exhilarating challenge that led her to develop and perform two one-woman shows to sold-out audiences.
