The Black Women on Broadway Reading Series provides a platform for emerging Black women playwrights to develop their work through a one-day rehearsal process. 

Each reading will bring together the playwright, director, and a cast of actors for an intensive day of exploration, offering the public a chance to experience new work by fresh voices in the theatre.

“The reading series is a deeply personal project for me. I began my career through programs like these, which gave me the chance to build an audience and gain recognition in the early days. With so many play development opportunities disappearing—especially those dedicated to Black playwrights—we hope this series will create meaningful space for Black women to live in their work, if only for a day.”
