Introduction to the Manila Pages

The 6th Women Playwrights International Conference was held in Manila from November 14 - 20, 2003.  Playwright Alice Tuan was invited to speak at the conference and served as a representative of The Fund for Women Artists.  Prior to her departure, she asked 39 women in theatre in the U.S. to prepare short statements that she could take with her to share with the women at the conference.
