League of Professional Theatre Women

The League of Professional Theatre Women (LPTW) is a membership organization for professional theatre women representing a diversity of identities, backgrounds, and disciplines. Through our programs and initiatives, we create community, cultivate leadership, and seek to increase opportunities and recognition for women in professional theatre. LPTW values the individual talents, skills, and artistry of all theatre women represented in our industry. In the spirit of full inclusion of all our varied identities (race, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, caste, tribe, socio-economic status, thinking and communication styles), we are committed to a culture of EDIA. Our programming knows no boundaries. They are all designed to support our goal of promoting visibility and increasing opportunity for women across the world. From readings to travel, from mentorship to networking, LPTW's programs give members a way to expand their skills while supporting each other's professional aspirations. Through our awards programs we recognize the extraordinary body of work being created by women in the USA and around the globe.
