Drinks With the Girls 1/26/15
Join us for the kick-off of a new Coalition monthly event:
DRINKS WITH THE GIRLS

In the media today you often read about how biased the arts still are. Female producers and directors are an anomaly even now, and don't even think about female technicians. So let's change it. Let's bring together all the smart talented women we know (and ones we don't), put us all in one space, and get some s**t done!

The plan: Drinks!

Most independent projects start out as just that: an idea over coffee or cocktails that then grows into a fully realized production. For thousands of years that's the way women have moved the world: get everyone together for some social time and let's talk.

So we're starting an event once a month that brings together women from all over the arts. We'll find a bar, hunker down and just see what happens. 

No agendas, no plans, just drinks with the girls. 

Please join us for our kickoff night:

Monday, January 26th
6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Pranna Restaurant
79 Madison Avenue (corner of 28th Street)                      


Happy hour specials all evening!

We have also just started our new online Women in the Arts & Media Communal Calendar. Over the next few months, we will be contacting and including the calendars of every major arts and media organization and every major women's organization: all events, openings, and deadlines.

This is a Google calendar, and so can be added to your own Google calendar. Please send all events to us at: calendar@womenartsmediacoalition.org or submit it on our website. It will take a few months to get it going full speed, but all of you can help us make this calendar THE central place for events and programs of interest. 

Below, we have two FREE events and one where Coalition members get a discount.  REMEMBER:  if you are a member of any of our member orgs, you are a member of the Coalition!

Drama Desk Panel 4/4 11:45 am @ Sardi's




$50 "Member Price" for all Coalition members
includes lunch at Sardi's!

DISTINGUISHED ACTOR JOHN GLOVER  (LINCOLN CENTER’S MACBETH) 
FILLS OUT DRAMA DESK’S 
“WHY SHAKESPEARE? WHY NOW?” 
PANEL DISCUSSION AT SARDI’S ON FRIDAY, APRIL 4
Panel also includes directors Daniel Sullivan (The Comedy of Errors) and Julie Taymor (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), and actors Michael Pennington (King Lear) and Scott Shepherd (Cry, Trojans!, based on Troilus & Cressida). 
Carol Rocamora is moderator.

Distinguished American actor John Glover (Witch/A Porter/Murderer 3 in Lincoln Center’s Macbeth) will join Drama Desk’s “Why Shakespeare? Why Now?” at Sardi’s on Friday, April 4 (11:45 AM–2:30 PM). Glover will join actors Michael Pennington and Scott Shepherd and directors Daniel Sullivan and Julie Taymor—in the lively discussion exploring the reasons why New York’s current theater season has such a distinctive Shakespearean flavor. Carol Rocamora, an educator, critic, playwright, translator, and Drama Desk member, will be the moderator.     

With his multiple honors, from Tony, Drama Desk and Obie awards to several Emmy nods, John Glover stands out as one of our most distinctive actors. While best known for his long-running television series Smallville, Glover’s appearances in a host of stage productions from Love! Valour! Compassion! to Waiting for Godot to this season’s Macbeth at Lincoln Center Theater, remain among his most memorable.  

New York’s theater season has struck a welcome chord with both critics and audiences thanks to the critically acclaimed Shakespeare’s Globe productions of Twelfth Night, or What You Will and Richard III (in repertory at the Belasco Theater), Lincoln Center Theater’s Macbeth, the Bard’s The Comedy of Errors (Shakespeare in the Park), King Lear and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (both by Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn), and the Wooster Group’s Cry, Trojans! (Troilus & Cressida). The other members of the panel have all distinguished themselves this season in these new productions of Shakespeare’s works: British actor/director Michael Pennington (King Lear) and Julie Taymor (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) both for Theatre for a New Audience; Scott Shepherd (Cry, Trojans!, The Wooster Group’s Troilus & Cressida); and director Daniel Sullivan (The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare in the Park).

The Drama Desk’s Spring Luncheon/Panel Discussion focusing on Shakespeare will take place at Sardi’s Eugenia Room, 234 West 44th St., on Friday, April 4. It will begin with the luncheon at 11:45 AM, followed by the panel discussion from 1:15–2:30 PM. Tickets—$50 for Drama Desk members and all members of all Women in the Arts & Media Coalition member organization members and $60 for non-members—may be purchased in advance, online at DramaDesk.org, or directly at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/932325. To order by phone, call 212-352-3101.
