Black Women Playwrights Group

The Black Women Playwrights group (BWPG) is a service and advocacy group for African American playwrights writing for the professional theater. The mission of BWPG is to support and promote the work of our members as well as advocate on critical issues within the theater world. For more than 20 years in the Washington, DC metropolitan community, we have been an institution that reflects and serves our community, gives voice and an artistic haven to women who are writing their first play, and to those who have won many honors and awards. BWPG represents women playwrights of color at national theater convenings and in professional pblications such as The Theater Journal, published by Johns Hopkins University.
