The Big Ten Theater Consortium is established to provide more writing and acting opportunities for female artists. Each commissioned script is bound by one rule of creating at least six substantial roles for young women.[1] One of the goals of the initiative is to correct the skewed gender ratio in casting in contemporary plays.[1] An artist payment is included in each commission, along with a provision allowing any Big Ten university to perform the play royalty-free for up to three years.[2] Works that have been commissioned include Naomi Lizuka’s Good Kids[3] and Kirsten Greenidge’s Baltimore[4], Twilight Bowl by Rebecca Gilman, Companion Animals by Madeleine George, and Bonnets by Jen Silverman.[5]
