I connect professional theaters with Native playwrights
With so many new works programs and companies dismantled, I work with theaters interested in commissioning and producing Native playwrights. I am not an agent: I am paid by theater companies. Think of me as your satellite associate artistic director or remote new works director. I augment your artistic department’s capacity.
Packages available, based on budget. Some services available:
--Meet with theater’s artistic leadership on aesthetics, goals, capacity
--Suggest up to 5 Native writers who might be a good fit for your theater
--Work with theater to identify barriers to successfully producing Native work with cultural competence
--Provide new play development services, pooling resources among theaters to co-commission and develop Native writers
Commitments:
I only work with theaters whose artistic director is willing to read at least 3 plays by Native writers.
