The Kilroys are a gang of playwrights and producers in LA
who advocate for the visibility of women playwrights in theatre.
Founded in 2013, The Kilroys are named after the iconic graffiti
tag "Kilroy Was Here" that was first left by WWII soldiers in
unexpected places, a playfully subversive way of making their
presence known. The members include Zakiyyah Alexander, Bekah
Brunstetter, Sheila Callaghan, Carla Ching, Annah Feinberg, Sarah
Gubbins, Laura Jacqmin, Joy Meads, Kelly Miller, Meg Miroshnik,
Daria Polatin, Tanya Saracho, and Marisa Wegrzyn.
“The superheroines of the theater are back—and better and bolder
than ever.” — Backstage
“These plays have been developed and vetted for artistic
excellence; they just happen to possess the added bonus of
representing a voice that’s currently being underproduced. It’s
part of a larger movement to say: There’s an embarrassment of
riches here.” — Sheila Callaghan for The Kilroys
