Live & In Color is accepting submissions for their 2024 Fall retreat at the Bingham Camp. Playwrights, composers, and lyricists of color and underrepresented communities can submit their new musicals with a 4-actor cast limit. Selected submissions will receive a $1,000 stipend, housing, meals, and travel.

Along with Doric Wilson's play Forever After  Playwright Danielle Frimer's play A Marriage Is A Story We Tell And Keep Telling will hit the stage at The Siggy at The Flea Theater this August. In this production a queer couple hides in the supply closet moments before what they hope will be their perfect wedding. Their jitters rocket them into a metaphysical meta theatrical manic meditation on the heteronormative nature of the marriage industry complex.  

Doric Wilson's play Forever After is a cagey, theatrical Chinese puzzle masquerading as a mere trinket -- one of the oldest and best comic poses.

TIME OUT NEW YORK added SHOOTING STAR to its Top 5 list of 'the best immersive theater in New York right now,' where the action unfolds around you and puts the audience in the middle of the laughter, the drama, the belting and most importantly, the heart.
