These extraordinarily talented women are excelling in their careers in regional theaters, Off-Broadway, as Broadway associates, and in Broadway offices. As Broadway begins to bounce back, we must make sure women make up for lost ground in order to achieve our goal of gender parity among industry leadership.Įlevating the women on this list would be a great place to start. 39,000 women over age 20 joined the workforce this past January, compared to 1 million men. According to an analysis by the National Women’s Law Center in January 2022, men have completely recouped pandemic employment losses, while 1.1 million fewer women are participating in the labor force than in February 2020.
While the industry is starting to rebound from the worst of the Coronavirus pandemic, and there is certainly reason to celebrate, recent data around women returning to the workplace is disappointing. To spotlight women in leadership, the Broadway Women’s Fund - Broadway’s first impact investment fund - is proud to announce the third annual Women to Watch on Broadway. And if you’re inspired to do more, ask us about how you can be a part of the Broadway Women’s Fund. We cannot expect the dynamics of this industry to change without the support of our whole community - so please: share this list, hire these women, and invest in their careers, because they are the future of Broadway. But we look forward to spotlighting additional future leaders in the years to come, and we hope that this initiative encourages Broadway industry members to look outside of their networks when hiring, and to empower the many women ready to step up into top roles. In fact, no list would do justice to the amount of capable and talented women in our industry.
This list, curated by Broadway Women’s Fund leadership based on nominations by advisory board members, is by no means comprehensive. Although they have already achieved significant success - many are winners of prestigious grants, scholarships, and commissions - they may still be considered “emerging.” But each person on this list has emerged ready to take her place at the very top of the industry and shake up the status quo on Broadway. These extraordinarily talented women are excelling in their careers in regional theaters, Off-Broadway, as Broadway Associates, and in Broadway offices.
