An evening of fun, thought provoking, relevant new works, music, poetry and interviews - a result of our commitment to holding space for artists in our community. For this episode Breath of Fire is reaffirming its partnership with Brown Bag Theater Company (BBTC) of UC Irvine. Through our free workshops and community engagement events in Orange County, it is our hope that we continue to foster the growth of BIPOC artists and scholars by supporting Brown Bag Theater Company in their future endeavors for the upcoming school year. We provide resources to storytell, to workshop, table read, discuss, devise, perform, and more. This is a FREE event. Donations made to this episode will be to support Brown Bag Theater Company.
