We are excited to realase a new website for Barbara Means Fraser PHD., Ms Fraser is an accomplished playwright and an Associate Professor at Santa Clara University where she served as Chair of the Theatre and Dance Department from 2003-2006. Fraser’s philosophy is driven by her dedication to social justice. The plays she writes are impactful and range in topic from gay rights, breast cancer, race and societal issues to sexual harassment and abuse. Her direction repertoire includes: The Laramie Project, Twilight of the Golds, Parallel Lives: The Kathy and Mo Show, and Paul Robeson.

The goals of the site were simple: to make the body of work more accessible to the public and give her a place to send companies interested in producing her plays. We used HTML and AJAX for the main page elements and Flash for a gallery of playbills and a video player for some of her clips. As we dig more deeply into her archives and the repertoire grows the site will easily scale to allow for more work.
