The Old Lady Project

Objective

The Old Lady project is an initiative to encourage the development of plays and musicals that feature significant roles for female identifying characters over 50, a demographic that is mostly unseen in mainstream media.

Scripts/Screenplays will be submitted to a national panel of directors and producers and staged readings of the winners will occur at the historic Noyes Cultural Arts Center. A directory of works will be featured on the Old Lady Project webpage to facilitate connections between theatre companies, directors and producers.
