Occupy The Stage 2020 Superlatives

Hey friends! Our hearts are so full after a busy and wonderful weekend full of new plays by women and marginalized gender playwrights. It’s not too late to see all 40 Occupy 2020 virtual readings! The shows from Friday 11/6 come down from YouTube 11/10 and noon ET, the shows from Saturday come down at noon ET 11/11, and the shows from Sunday come down at noon ET 11/12. This is due to Actors Equity restrictions. View the original lineup here to learn a show’s initial air date.
