ABSTRACT
Women’s theatre groups are seeking new forms-forms that have not been derived from the male-oriented and male-dominated theatre that now exists. A search for new content also characterizes these groups, but their most important aspect is their relationship with their audiences. The theatre done by these groups is aimed at a specialized audience and often is performed exclusively for that audience-women. Almost all of the women’s theatre groups reserve at least one of their performances for women only, and most prefer to play only for women, even when they admit men.
