The Bridge Initiative: Women in Theatre offers its second Bechdel Test Fest, Friday through Sunday, April 26th-28th, at Tempe Center for the Arts. The festival offerings include a panel discussion, play readings, film screenings, and more. All plays and films pass the Bechdel Test: two female-identifying characters who have a conversation with each other about something other than a man. Originally applied to film, The Bridge Initiative is using the test in assessing festival plays too.
The Bridge Initiative: Women in Theatre announces contest winners for their second Bechdel Test Fest to be presented at Tempe Center for the Arts, April 26th-28th. The contest received more than 100 eligible submissions from 19 states and the District of Columbia, as well as the U.K. and Canada. Over the course of six months, a team of professional theatre practitioners from both Arizona and across the country served as adjudicators. Every submission was scored anonymously, on criteria of originality, storytelling, dialogue, characters, an X factor ('I want to see this play'), and whether or not it satisfied the requirements of the Bechdel Test: two female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man.
