ABSTRACT
The three women who oversee the Omaha Magic Theatre—Megan Terry, Jo Ann Schmidman, and Sora Kimberlain—stake out claims for the territory of women's theatre in four domains: 1) they claim their artistic territory through collaboration, basing their work on a belief in knowledge as conversation and selves as socially constructed; 2) they claim the territory of performance by creating shows in which they integrate text, movement, music, sound, light, and visuals; 3) they negotiate their needs for capital through creative approaches to funding; and 4) they claim a theatre of the American Midwest which celebrates freedom and extremes.
