Abstract
On 3-4 May 2013, Calgary’s Urban Curvz theatre company held a cabaret called Girls Gone Wilde as part of a handful of events dubbed The Riveter Series. On their website, artistic director Vanessa Sabourin and artistic producer Jacqueline Russell explained that:A study conducted in 2006 on The Status of Women in Canadian Theatre estimated that while 59% of Canada’s theatre-going audience is female, only 27% of the plays produced in Canada are written by female playwrights. Inspired by Femfest (produced by Sarasvati Theatre in Winnipeg) and The Groundswell Festival (produced by Nightwood Theatre in Toronto), this event will feature sizzling staged readings to light up the Calgary stage across two nights. In a country where more and more brilliant female writers are born and made, Girls Gone Wilde will bring these commanding and arresting voices to the forefront of Canadian culture!
