New Study Shows Women Behind in Design Jobs

A new study by the League of Professional Theatre Women has found that women make up a surprisingly small percentage of professional theatre design jobs, The New York Times has reported.

Among the findings: "The statistics are striking, and consistent over time. Last season, 76 percent of costume designers at the theaters studied were women, as were 66 percent of production stage managers. But women made up only 22 percent of set designers, 17 percent of sound designers, and 13 percent of lighting designers."

Below is a link to the League of Professional Theatre Women's report on the study.
