2022 Season 
*Playwrights of Color Collective*
​Ideation. Creation. Development.
The Playwrights of Color Collective is an affinity space for BIPOC writers. We offer artistic growth and collective healing for BIPOC playwrights/artists, in an anti-racist space which actively centers BIPOC experiences. Our programs are free because we believe that no BIPOC playwright should have to pay a fee for access to new play development.  If you identify as a playwright of color, of any gender and ability, you are welcome to join our collective. 
  • ​Playwright Salons: a virtual space to hear your scene(s) in progress read aloud and discussed by fellow BIPOC writers/actors.
  • Pen to Page Cafe: a creative writing session dedicated to putting actual words on actual pages. Free flow, continue an existing project, or use our curated prompts for inspiration. 
  • Page to Stage: a workshop process for full-length plays, culminating in a public staged reading and facilitated audience/artist talkback.  (We ask that you join us for several salons before submitting your full-length script for consideration). ​
Playwright Fundraiser ~ Ed Gonzalez Moreno
We need your support in meeting our fundraising goal of $7,000, so "Puerto Rican Society Club" playwright Ed Gonzalez Moreno can take the next steps on his playwriting journey! 

​Ed: "I hope to encourage other Puerto Ricans, Afro- Latinx, Latinx, and all BIPOC artists to TELL THEIR STORIES. I can’t begin to explain my frustrations with coming up in the Theatre and never seeing stories that represent another group other than “White” (I put white in quotes because white is not a race, it is a social construct of power). Plays like “The Cherry Orchard” or “A Streetcar Named Desire” are all wonderful works but there was always a degree of separation. As a young artist I always hoped that someone would write these stories, and then I thought “Why not write it myself?”. It is time that BIPOC artists flood the Industry with our stories, I believe this story will help that movement. My hope is to continue to develop this story, my other play La Bodega, and begin to put the dozens of other stories I have in mind to one day see them on a MainStage and inspire young BIPOC artists to find courage in telling their stories."
