State of BIPOC Theatre from a Playwright’s Point of View

Events & Workshops · Hollywood Fringe Festival & Company of Angels · Ages 0+ · United States of America

About the Project

Sunday, August 15 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Zoom & Facebook Live

A co-production between Company of Angels and Hollywood Fringe Festival Scholarship Program, a virtual panel of BIPOC playwrights will explore how recent events during the pandemic have changed the way theatre makers approach their work. Panelists will share their experiences in writing for different performance environments, both livestream and live, and how recent social justice movements have influenced their work as artists. They will also look to the future and share their thoughts on the state of BIPOC theatre as we slowly emerge from the pandemic to greet live audiences once again.
