Check out more of our Featured Artists for tomorrow's "Behind the Table" Networking event. Don't forget to sign up at the link in our bio and we can't wait to see you there!

On March 23rd from 7-9pm, come for a casual night of networking to connect with the people who help run Boston's theatre companies, find mentorship amongst established creatives, and connect with fellow emerging directors, playwrights, designers, producers, administrators, and other creatives who live behind the table. And meet the teams behind three of Boston's leading BIPOC-centered theatre companies!

About the hosts: As organizations who seek to elevate the African diasporic, Pan-Asian, and Latinx experiences within Greater Boston, we are invested in telling stories and uplifting creatives that focus on our joy, history, and shared/individual cultures. We seek to create spaces for our communities to break barriers and build our own tables.

We strongly encourage BIPOC artists to show up and show out! If you are new in town, a recent graduate, or just want to make sure we know about you, sign up to join the event!
