XX PlayLab, a program jointly presented by the BCA and Company One, a BCA Resident Theatre Company, supports, develops and propels the work of female playwrights. This season, the BCA and Company One invited three dynamic women at various stages of their careers for a year-long program composed of in-house and public readings, dramaturgical support and artist mentorship, culminating in a weekend long festival in March. Join us for three unique works by local Boston writers Natalia Naman, Kirsten Greenidge and Lydia R. Diamond, that represent a vibrant picture of our region's new play sector, accompanied by panel discussions featuring leading thinkers and practitioners on race and gender in the American theatre.
