Blackboard Plays is partnering with Ghostlight Productions and Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL) to promote a platform for black theatre artists and creatives. Two playwrighting festivals (Black Motherhood & Parenting New Play Festival and the Obsidian Theatre Festival) are in the process of producing their finalist’s plays. Blackboard will be producing 12 of the semi-finalists (6 from each festival) for their 2022 reading season. We are seeking directors for this upcoming season for either one or more readings and for future Blackboard Readings. This submission will create a Director Database for Blackboard Plays.
