Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop

Arts Programming: BRTW offers free and low-cost programming for their community in Brooklyn and beyond. From their monthly reading series Melanated Monday, to their writer's group Writer's Block, to podcasts, live performances, and touring workshops- BRTW aims to make programming accessible to both arts lovers and art newcomers. BRTW, their work, and artists uniquely leverage the power of the theatre- to use narrative and performance to deeply engage audiences with character, condition, and circumstance- to address the systemic gaps in compassion that contribute to real-life harms.

Community Building: BRTW is pleased to offer opportunities for civic engagement. Their popup community organizing workshops and writing workshops not only democratize access to resources often gatekept within academic institutions but also serve their mission by ensuring that workshop content is available for free to Black communities.

Education: Revolution NOW! is an annual seasonal residency for Black playwrights whose work they produce as audio dramas. Playwrights are provided with hands-on dramaturgical and educational support and guidance as they complete and edit their work. 

BRTW also offers pop-up workshops for groups interested in learning their generative method of playwrighting.
