Who Designs and Directs in LORT Theatres by Gender
HowlRound Theatre Commons: I first published this study in 2015, hoping to provide a baseline on gender of designers in League of Resident Theatre (LORT) Theatres. This article and the accompanying charts are the result of the last five years of collecting, confirming whenever possible, and analyzing the data.
