Project Shaw has performed concert readings of every sketch, full-length, and one-act play by George Bernard Shaw. Starting in 2014, the series expanded to also include plays by writers who inspired Shaw or who were inspired by him. Starting with the 2017-2018 season, ‘Women Take the Stage,’ Project Shaw’s seasons have been programmed around a specific theme or idea. Click on any of the titles below to learn more about each of the readings Project Shaw has produced.
