As Women's History Month comes to a close I would be remiss if I didn't pay homage to my sister, inspiration, friend, colleague and former employer @ntozakeshangecssd .Rest in Peace Queen💜. Your words are as powerful today as they were when you initially wrote them. I miss you.

Wow! It is now August 1st and I have made it through my #31PlaysJuly project having read 35 plays, by 35 playwrights, all female, trans, and/or people of color!!! Here is a retrospective collage in four parts of all 35 plays! I have decided that, as best I can, I am going to continue this project (!!!) under the new hashtag #ChrisReadsPlays. This has now become a sort of daily practice for me, and I have so many plays left to read in my library, female and male, white and POC, classic and modern playwrights alike, plus other works by playwrights I read this July. I don't know how long I can maintain this, but I'd like to try, even if I miss a day or two here and there, until my library is completely read (and reread for plays I've not read in years, or only seen). Thanks for following me along this July and here's to more plays in the future! #theatre #readingplays #plays #playwrights #theater #isurvived #idontwantittobeover #dailypractice #femaleplaywrights #playwrightsofcolor #lgbtplaywrights #transplaywrights (at Scarborough, Maine)

Sometimes you just gotta call it out. Let em know. They said they wanted to support “diverse new voices in American theater.” So why don’t they ACTUALLY DO THAT AND PICK A PLAY WRITTEN BY A WOMAN OR PERSON OF COLOR?!
