MOXIE Theatre is a professional non-profit theatre located in San Diego, California, and founded in 2004. Our mission is to create more diverse and honest images of women+ for our culture using the intimate art of theatre. Through our productions of plays written by women+, educational programs, annual MOXIE Awards ceremony, and career-launching professional opportunities, MOXIE is creating a pipeline for women+’s work and inspiring audiences to create change in their own communities.
Not afraid to brag…
THEN: 16% of plays produced in American Theatre written by women when MOXIE was founded
NOW: 32% of plays produced in American Theatre written by women since companies like MOXIE have raised awareness about lack of gender equity
100% of plays produced at MOXIE are written by women+
50%+ of all Artistic & Technical positions at MOXIE are given to BIPOC Theatre Makers
What’s the +? Women+ is a term we use in conversations that center women but are inclusive of others who are underrepresented or face gender-based biases, like non-binary people.
