Blackboard Plays is partnering with Ghostlight Productions and Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL) to promote a platform for black theatre artists and creatives. Two playwrighting festivals (Black Motherhood & Parenting New Play Festival and the Obsidian Theatre Festival) are in the process of accepting playwright submissions. Play finalists will be selected and Blackboard will be producing 12 of the semi-finalists (6 from each festival) for their 2022 reading season. We are seeking performers for this upcoming season.
As the plays are confirmed we will be casting from this call’s submissions. We are looking for actors to be cast in either one or more readings.
