The 2026 Blue Ink Playwriting Festival at American Blues Theater presents staged readings of new works, including the award-winning Overnight at the Museum by Nia Akilah Robinson, along with finalist plays and thou shalt be healed by Benjamin Benne and The Scouts of America Don't Sell Cookies, B*tch by Claire Crowley. Overnight at the Museum follows two Black night security guards who steal Ghanaian artifacts from a gentrified American neighborhood, racing to return them before the opening of a "Neo-African Museum" — a heist story that examines history, legacy, and art. Robinson, a Yale MFA playwright and Juilliard alumna whose work has been developed at Steppenwolf Theatre, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company among others, receives the Blue Ink Award's $3,000 prize along with the staged reading. The Blue Ink Award, established in 2010, is a nationally recognized platform that has supported 16 winners and hundreds of finalists, with winning plays going on to premiere in major theater markets across the country.
