The Hampton Theatre Company has launched a new initiative to open each of its next three seasons with a female-led production. Called the Jane Stanton Celebrating Women in Theatre Project, the initiative is funded by a recent anonymous grant from a private charitable foundation and the goal is to spotlight plays written and directed by women.

This week, the editors are joined by HTC president Rosemary Cline, vice president George Loizides and general manager Terry Brennan who discuss the details of the project as well as the first play to be produced by it — Larissa FastHorse’s “The Thanksgiving Play” which runs through November 2 at the Quogue Community Hall.
