Pride Playwrights
Join The Center's playwriting group as we create a community of writers focusing on old and new pieces including monologues, scenes, one-act plays, and more. This supportive space will nurture the writer's growth by providing historical references, educational perspectives, and constructive feedback. Eventually, we will prepare pieces to present to an audience including full or partial staging with actors from the larger community to provide authentic voices for our work.
