In case you didn’t know – we’re booked! It’s a good thing!
From July through December, we will be featuring exciting new plays from new voices and we can’t wait to hear the feedback!
I love community nights! I love them for their unexpectedness! Monday, June 11th brought 4 new playwrights who presented their work.
The vibe was perfect, and as they entered the front door of the cell on 23rd -conversations started naturally.
Community Nights have become a staple of Blackboard and set us apart from all the rest. Think of it as an open mic for playwrights.
