Women of Manhattan is a play about modern women. Complex, sensitive, successful, loyal, confident and at times neurotic. The three female characters deal with very common and decidedly similar situations each in unique and subjective ways. The script is funny, witty, unexpected and touching.



Our production of Women of Manhattan is timed to cooincide with International Women's Day, a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future. An exclusive pre-season industry fundraiser on International Women's Day, March 8 will open the season.



The cast is a small select group of very talented actors, directed by Alexandra Juchau. Their talent and commitment to the conceptualisation of the entertaining script by award winning author John Patrick Shanley will be the artistic success of this production.

International Women's Day


Women of Manhattan Supports UNIFEM


International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8th across the world. IWD is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future.


UNIFEM Australia has been holding International Women’s Day functions since 1989. Over the years, these events have increased in size and number and are now attended each year by over 15,000 women, men, students and young people around Australia.


Each year, they raise funds via the sale of Purple Ribbons for a UNIFEM Project in a developing country. Wearing a Purple Ribbon is a symbol of your commitment to achieving Gender Equality. All the funds raised from International Women’s Day in 2010 will go towards a project to empower migrant workers in Indonesia.


Our 2010 production of Women of Manhattan will be directly supporting UNIFEM by holding a fundraising pre-season industry night on International Women's Day, March 8. Select invitees will not only have the opportunity to see the production before the official season starts, but can also support UNIFEM by buying a purple ribbon at the event or making a further donation.
