The purpose of the Susan Glaspell Society is the recognition of Susan Glaspell as a major American dramatist and fiction writer through the ongoing publication of high-quality scholarship and critical analysis of all her works, participation in national and international conferences, performances and public readings of her plays, and the commitment to reprinting and teaching her plays, stories, and novels.

The Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf is noted for its intrepid adaptations… With Trifles, director Brooke O’Harra and Composer Brendan Connelly team up with the new music ensemble Yarn/Wire to approach Glaspell’s text as part concert, part play, and part sculpture. For NYT review:
