Writers interpret the impact of external events on the hopes and dreams of individual lives. My vision is to foster development of plays by African-American playwrights that travel beyond reflections on the American “black experience” and reveal a shared humanity when touched by universally common events.

The Playwrights’ Inn Project seeks to encourage playwrights to venture outside their comfort zone to challenge notions about artistic capability or scope of subject.

The Playwrights’ Inn is poised to create an international platform for traditionally under served playwrights and encourages writers to roam beyond externally imposed limits of subject or preconceived opinion of what is artistically possible.
