Theatre, especially in developing countries, is an important and vital voice: advocating for change as it responds and reflects the world we live in.
 
In the summer of 2015, a group of Canadian playwrights attended the Women Playwrights Conference Cape Town, South Africa. Playwrights Beverley Cooper, Marcia Johnson, Sally Stubbs and Colleen Wagner were struck by how few African playwrights were represented. However, the handful of women playwrights who did attend were extraordinary, with unique and important stories to tell.
 
The CASA Project is a collaboration between the Playwrights Guild of Canada Women’s Caucus and the African Women Playwrights Network in South Africa. We recognize that while playwrights everywhere struggle with their chosen careers, women playwrights in many countries such as India, Afghanistan, and South Africa have much bigger obstacles than we do here in Canada.
