Moxie Commission
The Moxie Commission was a program built to create and launch new plays written by and about women+ which are specifically crafted for virtual performance. Moxie Arts NY commissioned three playwrights - Marissa Joyce Stamps, Jessica Wu, and Uma Paranjpe - for the inaugural year of this program. Each writer created three one-act scripts conceived for digital performance, which were then fully produced, filmed, and edited for presentation. The commission’s directing cohort included Kathleen Capdesuner, Margaret Lee, Shannon Davis and Leigh Rondon-Davis.
