WHAT WE DO

Public Performances

BRTW is proudly based in New York City, where we offer 3+ public performances every year. Generally, readings and open workshops will be donate-what-you-can to keep our work as open and accessible to our community as possible. While we strive to keep tickets affordable , we cannot always control ticket costs for full productions. However, if you are struggling to afford ticket costs, please contact us to see if subsidized tickets are available for the show you’d like to attend.

Education

High Schools, colleges, and universities can commission BRTW to create a workshop, corresponding performance piece, and post-show panel that complements curricula. Previous projects incorporated deep readings of current events in the context of the civil rights era, an introduction to intersectionality and critical race theory, Black studies, narrative creation, group writing, and researching for the arts.

SUPPORT BRTW TODAY

With economic, social, educational, healthcare, housing, and political injustice facing our community, BRTW aims to tackle the issues that impact us while becoming a beacon for Black opportunity within the arts.
