Calling All Griots!

Calling all Griots: A Watch Night Writing Sprint

Black Playwrights in Atlanta, we’re calling you to join us!

This year has been full of many twists and turns, with the pandemic, protests, politics and the ebbs and flows of life. With everything switching to virtual, there is now so much more to take in. On thing’s for sure, it’s been a little difficult to write and create in this season.

But we can’t develop new plays if you aren’t writing! So…We’re inviting you to pour all, to give yourself some space to clear your head.

From December 15 – December 31, join us in a daily writing sprint. You can do it at home or get with some friends.  Our suggested goal for each day is:

Script – 3 pages – total 50 pages (a solid one act)

Not a playwright?
