Welcome to The Muse Project.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Muse launched and continues to develop a podcast series called A Simple Herstory about the women who have run for President of the United States. Herstory is being presented by The Tank. The voice of actress Florencia Lozano is at the helm of the storytelling for Season 1.

Thank you to all who have supported us during this extremely challenging time!

This is a rare opportunity... I love working in this way because we are working outside of the confines of the way the industry often tells us we need to work, and very interesting work is produced when we aren't trying to conform to the typical expectations of what a 'new play' is or what a 'performance' or 'audience relationship' should be.

Thanks for fighting the hard, awkward, frustrating, but good fight. Messy, but inspiring. Messy AND inspiring.

It is really important to me that the project is female driven and actor driven - it feels like it's much closer to the essential nature of theater.
​
​-Kim Davies, playwright

This way of playmaking reminds me of the heyday of The Group Theatre; how Odets wrote for specific actors in the company. When a playwright is writing specifically to the strengths of an actor, the play fits like a glove. While it's daunting to start with a blank canvas, it's also thrilling to be invested in a project from conception. To be part of a conversation about character arcs, plot points, and the overall 'message' of the play engages every aspect of my creative being. It is very humbling and empowering as a storyteller to be in the room witnessing the 'best idea win.'
