Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop is looking for work from Black writers to be performed at our monthly virtual event, Melanated Mondays. 

 

What is Melanated Mondays?
A Black-ass good time. 
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.

The Details

• Submissions should be no more than 20 minutes in length.  We are open to promoting longer works from time to time, but it is the exception not the rule.
• The work must be by a Black writer/ Black writing team
• The work explicitly impacts Black people
• The work deals with an aspect of social justice
• The work fits within that month’s theme or genre. (Themes can found here: https://www.blackrevolutionarytheatreworkshop.org/melanated-mondays)
• Writers whose work is shared will be paid a $25 honorarium

While Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop is predominately dedicated to theatre, we also accept poetry, short story, and screenplay submissions. Submissions do not have to be a completely polished work, but should be ready to be shared with an audience.
