BIPOC Play-Reading Festival
The BIPOC Play-Reading Festival is an integral part of Straz Center’s commitment to expanding our inclusion and diversification of our artistic offerings. We are excited to present and celebrate these richly talented members of our BIPOC community who touch our lives through the genius of their playwrighting. We are happy to announce this series as a new all-day festival in which we offer the opportunity to experience an up close and personal hearing of excerpts authored by these talented writers.
