The Women's Project & Productions, which celebrated it's 25th year in operation during 2003, "provides a home for women playwrights and offers a world of entertaining and provocative stories written by women, and enjoyed by anyone willing to experience exciting new theatre", according to their website.
Joining Sternhagen at the event was Tony nominee Donna Murphy, one of this year's honorees.
