This paper empirically investigates whether there are more roles written for men than those
written for women in theater plays. A novel data set that is derived by the authors themselves by using
the archives of Turkish State Theaters is employed. It is found in the paper that there are more roles
written for man than those written for females in theater plays. Plays by female authors have a
relatively higher ratio of female roles to male roles even though the number of female roles is smaller
on average. Plays by Turkish authors do have a smaller ratio of female to male roles.
