Stonington Opera House is on the cutting edge again. Check out Patricia Cohen's NYT article on women directors in NYC, including Diane Paulus, who just won a Tony for her B'way revival of HAIR (and who will be a guest on on our blog later this week).
Now take a minute to count the talented women working in leadership positions for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at the Opera House: director, artistic director, executive director, composer/music director, lighting designer, costume designer.
Right on, Opera House!
And a shout out, too, to the amazing scenic designer...the man on the team.
Does it matter that women are in these roles? Yes, because women have traditionally been underemployed in authoritative positions in the arts.
So kudos to Stonington. Where the women are rockin' the boat.
