Expand the Canon

Arts Programming, Community Building, Education:

Expand The Canon, as an advocacy organization, provides educational resources regarding the playwrights and plays on the ETC list, as well as ways to expand the canon in your community. The ETC podcast, newsletter, and Official List curate works by women and gender expansive writers going back centuries, and offers a path for artists and theater lovers to incorporate these works into their artistic practices, classrooms, personal libraries and beyond. 

Through Literary Salons and readings, ETC offers a space for folks passionate about the ETC mission and  theater classics to connect and share their interests, as well as an opportunity to experience the work of contemporary artists. Additionally, ETC partners with theater companies across the country to facilitate the production of ETC Selected Plays, to bring these classics to the stage, once again.
