InProximity Theatre Company, a New York City-based theater production company, is proud to present the first edition of Project W Theatre Festival, a multi-day play reading event featuring new plays written and directed by women. Taking place over five days (June 6 - 10, 2017), the Festival will include a distinctive group of plays, all written and directed by women. Cherry Lane Theatre, located at 38 Commerce Street, will serve as the exclusive venue for all readings.

The Festival is produced by InProximity founders and Co-Artistic Directors Jolie Curtsinger and Laurie Schaefer Fenton; and Managing Director Lisa Dozier King. The entire event will be managed and executed by women theatre professionals. The festival aims to be a celebration of women in theater, from the creative side to the business itself.
