Okay, but seriously this time: Each month, Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop
curates a selection of new works by the hottest up-and-coming Black writers
around a new theme. On the 3rd Monday of each month, BRTW’s ensemble brings
these pieces to life and facilitates a community conversation about the
underlying societal issues highlighted in the pieces and potential solutions to
those challenges. We partner with organizers, educators, and organizations to
share key avenues of civic engagement we all can undertake to make our
communities more just and equitable. </span></p>
