The economics of theater are painful. I still think that the theater community should be looking much more rigorously at how to let the playwright keep the money they make.

I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.

With the depth of the women's game, the entertainment it gives, and the work we put into it, I think equal pay is right.

In a way, it has been an advantage for me to be a woman because there is always some academic committee that needs you to fill a quota!

I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies.

We as women have a voice and we are decision makers in what film to see. We always support our boyfriends and husbands by going to see the male dominated films, but we don't compel them to see films with female casts.

As much as I was encouraged by the number of female-centric shows being bandied about, it feels like we're being treated like a trend or a quota to be filled.

Is the American theatre allowing itself to become irrelevant? The problem isn't that playwrights aren't being paid enough. It's that theatres all over America are looking towards New York to tell them what new plays to do.

The modern economics of the theater is such that we write plays with fewer and fewer characters.
