Be elevated by the presentation of select excerpts from three fresh new scripts by cutting edge First Nations playwrights: Monica Karo, Nazree Dickerson and Blayne Welsh. These daring works have been developed through ILBIJERRI’s BlackWrights Creators Program, an industry incubator empowering artists in the development of new First Nations theatre.
