Honor Roll! is an advocacy and action group of women+ playwrights over 40 as well as our women+ over 40 allies. The term “women+” refers to a spectrum of gender identification that includes women, non-binary identifiers and trans. Honor Roll! was ignited by our shared recognition of the pervasive yet seldom acknowledged bias against women+ playwrights over 40. Our members have in common the lived experience of being overlooked when we were younger, due to sexism only to find ourselves now being passed over, due to ageism, or in other cases, of starting our playwriting journeys later in life because of the inherent disincentives and social responsibilities that often fall to women+. We also recognize the intersectionality of ageism and that it is an additional burden for women+ of color,...

Sunday Sprints is a guided writing session I teach over Zoom. It's weekly from 12pm to 2pm PST. Every fifteen minutes, I give a new writing prompt designed to get writers thinking more deeply about the characters in their work. We work with our microphones off (so people can listen to their own music, or write in silence if they prefer) and with our cameras on (so we can create a sense of community and accountability). At the end of class, writers are allowed to unmute themselves for an informal conversation to discuss how the prompts worked for them and if there's anything they're struggling with.

Actors from coast to coast over the years have asked Ronnie Marmo to teach a weekly acting class.

When we started, there was no template for creating theater over the internet, which turned out to be perfect because we could remove all the obstacles that held us back. At the time, we didn’t know what zoom was or how we could use it. Would people even know how to use it? How much would it cost? And what the heck is a virtual background? We had so many questions, but we watched all of our productions canceled in those horrible first days of Spring 2020. We didn’t have to create a “season” of plays; we could choose any plays we wanted to do. It gave us a kind of freedom to select the best work we can find without appeasing a particular audience. We choose the plays, cast the roles, then we find an audience.

Naked Angels was formed in 1986 by a group of artists intent on creating a creative home for rigorous voices. Working as a team of writers, directors, actors, producers, and designers, our founders crafted an open environment for expression, experimentation, and production. The company took its name from the John Tytell book, which referred to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and other Beats as “a generation that wanted to break out of convention and scream.” As a young group, the Naked Angels artists felt the same way; needing a place where, through the medium of theater, they could show the world a different perspective of the times. Sometimes outraged, often irreverent, occasionally absurd, and always intelligent, enthusiastic and fun, Naked Angels’ work was a spark to wh...
