Wayward Voices is a space to amplify, uplift, and empower BIPOC artists. Our goal is to produce work that inspires and activates our artists now and our artists to come. Let this be our a jump to produce work that reflects the truth of our world, and the many stories ready to be told.
Introducing
WAYWARD READS
A playwriting competition where a single selected work will be presented as a live reading followed by a talk-back with the artists. The playwright will have some control in collaboration with the producing company over the selection of a director.
The director will have full control over the rehearsal schedule with a minimum requirement of 9 rehearsal hours to be completed before tech rehearsals begin. Performers will be selected from the company and the general public. Auditions will be held. Technicians will be provided by The Wayward Artist Theater Company.
Readings of the selected pieces will be presented as a series over the course of a weekend.
