History
The name NewShoe is inspired by Nu Shu, the name given to the code writing of Chinese women in feudal Hunan province. Forbidden to write, the women came up with a cryptic writing system to communicate with and supported each other through poems, stories, and songs. Our Anglicized spelling winks at the association of women with shoes while acknowledging we are the newest shoe in a continuum of theaters for women who owe their inspiration to Julia Miles and her leadership of the Women's Project and Productions.
Suzanne Bennett and Marya Cohn, founders, and Teresa K. Pond currently serve as meeting facilitators and share administrative and programmatic responsibilities.
New Shoe Members: Michele Aldin, Alexandra Aron, Suzanne Bennett, Jill Campbell, Allyn Chandler, Marya Cohn, Cheryl Davis, Lia Gladstone, Dana Leslie Goldstein, Andrea Lepcio, Elysa Marden, Kim Merrill, Teresa K. Pond, Lauren Rosen, and Barbara Rubin.
