A new play by Aleyna Karaca

It’s 1953, and Edith’s husband Clark has just been promoted to second-in-command at the Atomic Energy Commission. To celebrate, she invites Clark’s new boss, his femme-fatale wife, and a couple of high school friends over for a cocktail party. Despite rising domestic tensions and the re-ignition of an old flame, Edith’s keeping the party under control—until a dead bird drops from the sky. Meanwhile, stolen data exposing the effects of the AEC’s nuclear testing threatens to surface. As Edith watches bird after bird fall, she’s left to determine what’s real and what isn’t, and who—or what—to trust.

WE’RE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FIGHTING FOR GENDER EQUITY IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

The core of our mission is to shape a more equitable world by creating more equitable entertainment, onstage and on screen.

We know that what audiences watch in plays, musicals, films, and TV shows helps mold the way they see the world around them – and we want audiences to see shows by women & femme artists, through our lens. So, we work to combat the systemic inequities in the entertainment industry that keep women, transgender, and non-binary (TGNC) artists away from the vast majority of leadership roles behind the scenes.

We focus most of our support on the original creators: playwrights, composers, and producers, as those are the roles that decide which stories get told onstage and on screen. Out of our four home base cities, New York, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, we work to make the entertainment industry – one of the largest contributors to the United States economy – reflect the rich diversity and cultural history of the US. We fight for equal opportunity, access, and representation of femme and marginalized-gender creatives nationwide.
