Founded in 2015, SheNYC Arts is the country's premier nonprofit supporting women, trans, & non-binary artists as they pursue leadership careers in the entertainment industry. We give them the tools they need to succeed as playwrights, producers, composers, directors, and more in the form of training, physical resources, mentorship, networking, and performance opportunities.

We founded SheNYC as a group of women working in the Broadway and off-Broadway industry, witnessing first-hand the gender disparity in the upper echelons of the industry, and experiencing the barriers women face that keep them from leadership roles. We started counting: 

In a typical season, 90% of the shows on Broadway are written by men. 

But when shows written by women make it to Broadway, they stand out: Broadway shows written by women earn 19% more in weekly box office receipts than shows written exclusively by men. 

Our programs are aimed at fixing the "pipeline issue" by eliminating the many barriers to entry that women face as they pursue sustainable careers in the entertainment industry, from school to Broadway and Hollywood. Our writers & composers are all chosen by a totally open, anonymous submissions process with no pre-requisites required.
