The Airmid Theatre Company, founded in 2000, is a National Endowment for the Arts award winning theatre company that produces, recovers, and collects classic plays by women with artists of both genders as the playwrights originally intended. Over the years, Airmid has presented over 40 plays in full productions, readings, commissions and engagement programs that are entertaining and thought-provoking for both theatre lovers and scholars alike. Airmid is committed to telling stories that are life affirming and span the spectrum of human emotion. Comedies that make us laugh. Dramas that touch us. Universal stories that help us all to better understand society across the centuries and our own individual place as part of the world today. Airmid aims to: • Produce performances of significant dramatic works written by women throughout history; • Engage in the ongoing research and recovery of classic plays by women; • Expand the dramatic canon of works by women for study and production; • Mentor emerging female theatre practitioners; • Commission translations of non-English classic works of theatre by women. Unique in its mission, Airmid’s fresh perspective on these forgotten works reminds us that there is a long, rich theatrical history that has been lost. By establishing the history of playwriting by women and professionally producing their work with actors of both genders as the playwrights intended, we open the door to broader discussion on women’s roles today, and in the future.
