WELCOME TO THE BLACK WOMEN PLAYWRIGHTS' GROUP

The Black Women Playwrights' Group (BWPG) is a service and advocacy group for African American playwrights writing for the professional theater. The mission of BWPG is to support and promote the work of our members as well as advocate on critical issues within the theater world. Many of our members come to us after being misunderstood or ignored in larger white, and sometimes male-dominated, writing groups. There is an established need among regional theaters for new artists to explore the African American experience, and BWPG is a conduit between African American women playwrights and theaters, ensuring that the voices heard on the American stage are rich and diverse.

MEMBER SERVICES INCLUDE:
  • Monthly writing workshops

  • Year round networking opportunities with directors, producers, designers and actors

  • Encouraging, fun and professional atmosphere

ESTABLISHED WRITERS AND EMERGING ARTIST WELCOMED!
