RADIANCE ~ Virtual New Play Showcase, produced by Bucharest Inside the BeltwaySaturday, December 11, 2021 at 11AM 12:30PM Mountain Time - Livestreamed on Bucharest Inside the Beltway Facebook Live After which publicly available on YouTube for viewing and distribution.Bucharest Inside the Beltway (BiB), is a creative arts platform for local and international artists to promote their work and collaborate on a myriad of projects, all inspired by the fearless spirit of artists in Bucharest, Romania. BiB proudly presents the professional showcase of its first virtual residency, RADIANCE, which also serves as BiBs Denver launch. The showcase is produced in partnership with Colorados Wheat Ridge Theatre Company.In January 2021, over one hundred hopeful playwrights from eight countries around the world applied to be part of BiBs RADIANCE international playwrights residency led by award-winning Romanian-Filipina-American playwright Amanda L. Andrei (MFA USC, Los Angeles). The playwrights had to propose to develop an original play answer to questions inspired by the residencys theme, including: What makes you glow? What makes you rise? What are the shadows, the chemicals, the rays of energy in your life? How do you experience radiance?After a rigorous application process including Zoom interviews, BiB selected 7 non-binary, female, and male playwrights: from Kenya, Italy, UK, Romania, the Cherokee Nation, the Hmong people, and Mexico. Three of the playwrights also represent BiBs home cities: Bucharest, Washington DC, and Denver. Harnessing the power of Zoom during the global pandemic, Andrei met with the playwrights for eight sessions over summer 2021 as the artists developed their original plays in dialogue with one another. The RADIANCE New Play Showcase features 20 minute excerpts from four of the plays from the residency. The playwrights featured are Minna Lee (Seattle, WA), Anna Pellegrini (London), Maddox Pennington (Washington DC), and Madalina Oprisan (Bucharest).The showcase will premiere on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 10 AM Pacific Time, 11 AM Mountain Time, 1 PM Eastern Time, 6 PM GMT, and 8 PM Romania Time on Facebook Live. Tune in through Facebook by watching the livestream on BiBs Facebook page. The broadcast of the plays will be followed by a Q & A with the playwrights. The showcase recording will be publicly available on YouTube following the event.
