...home for creative emerging black playwrights
WE and OURS in the MEDIA
A Harlem Renaissance
“The hard fact is, if you love these Black organizations, $20 or $25 a month has to be in your budget; that’s the real of it,” Daley-Sharif said. “There are a lot of big funders like NYSCA (New York State Council on the Arts) coming out of COVID who are going to change guidelines and eligibility requirements. So us, The Fire This Time Festival, Liberation Theatre Company—the only way any of us are going to actually survive is if we get paid. How many Black theatres are true companies? We’re doing this outside of full-time jobs and parenting; we don’t have salaried folks with health insurance and all those things.

Writing Residency Program Year 2 playwright Marcus Scott continues to stay busy. On April 7, he will be one of six playwrights participating in The 24 Hour Plays at Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken NJ. The 24 Hour Plays bring together writers, actors and directors to create brand new theatre pieces all within a one day time frame. (Think 48Hours in...Harlem, only half as long.) Mile Square Theatre is under the artistic direction of Kevin R. Free, a good friend of Liberation Theatre Company.
Congratulations Marcus. For tickets: https://www.milesquaretheatre.org/show.../the-24-hour-plays/
