  • Adrienne Dawes: Being Black Outside

    The reading of "Being Black Outside" as part of Great Plains Theatre Conference was my introduction to Vinecia's work and I'm so grateful to know this play and playwright! I lived for the moments between the sisters - the musicality of Vinecia's dialogue is a fucking treat for actors and audiences alike!

  • Adrienne Dawes: I Am DELIVERED'T (formerly, A Queer Black Rom-Com For Eastertide)

    I got to see a reading in NW Arkansas ahead of the play’s premiere and I am so so grateful for an introduction to this playwright and to this play in particular. It’s a funny, and touching intergenerational story of found family created both within the church and just outside in the church parking lot. We have JOKES but we also have such a beautiful portrait of love ♥️ We’re going to see this play produced all over the country (and beyond). I know it. I’m a witch.

  • Adrienne Dawes: YELLOW DREAM$

    OBSESSED with this outstanding piece of documentary theater. Liqing's writing is sharp, FUNNY, and wildly theatrical. PRODUCE THIS PLAY so I can see it, please?!

  • Adrienne Dawes: The Jersey Devil Is a Papi Chulo

    This is such a funny, daring, and smart play - LOLs from start to finish! I cannot wait to see a production staged someday and I'm so grateful to have found this work while I've been on the hunt for more femme farce writers of color.

  • Adrienne Dawes: CJ, A Trilingual Play (An Aspanglish Play)

    I was lucky enough to see a reading of "CJ" as part of Milagro Theatre's Ingenio Festival in September and highly recommend it for further production/development opportunities. Mercedes expertly navigates between different worlds in a story that incorporates 4 different languages. Her writing is fiercely loving, generous and beautiful.
