The works that Idris Goodwin have shared are so strong. They have been great generators in my classes.

Hello fellow theatre educators, 

I would like to do a night of readings for my school's Theatre for Social Change program. My idea is to a reading of works by BIPOC playwrights and/or female playwrights or maybe just choose one play. Does anyone have any suggestions of work I can look into? The more suggestions the merrier! 

 

Respectfully,

I was actually going to make the same recommendation. I LOVE Idris Goodwin's plays and have used them in my classes as well as in performance. The students really enjoy working with them and talking about them. Here's a direct link. Just scroll down to the Free Plays portion for links to each of the five.  http://www.idrisgoodwin.com/catalog
