Join us in celebrating the next phase of Expand the Canon –– with 2 amazing partners, 16 newly-added titles, and 3 ways to engage in the celebration.

Toast with us –– we’ll reveal the 16 plays added to the Expand the Canon list this year! For the first time, we’re highlighting shorter and one-act plays by historic women and gender-expansive writers. And as always: they’re classics!
From there, take a quick 8-minute walk to go see these plays in action, at: 1. The Public, for the last reading of a full-length from our 2023 List, or2. Classic Stage Company, for two readings of the short plays you’ll have just heard about!
