Three new works that dismantle the patriarchy, elevate underrepresented voices and (of course) use stage combat!

The third annual Fighting Words Festival!

Each year BWBTC selects three scripts for development.  Each must have the potential to grow into the kinds of plays that fit BWBTC’s mission.  Several of the Fighting Words selections have been seen as full productions with BWBTC, as well as other theatre companies: most recently 180 Degree Rule, Patchwork Drifter, L’Imbecile and Bo Thomas and the Case of the Sky Pirates.

Each 2019-20 script has undergone two reading-and-feedback sessions with the ensemble and invited guests prior to being introduced to the public (and given the BWBTC treatment of including one staged fight) at the 2020 Festival.

 

Tickets: FREE ADMISSION! Refreshments and a talkback follow each reading.

 

FIGHTING WORDS 2019-2020 SELECTION:

Sunday, March 1, 2020 – 4:00pm

Scum

by Mia Vera

Director: Kathrynne Wolf*
Fight Choreography: Jillian Leff*

Inspired by Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto, three people with wildly different agendas take up art, activism and potentially arms as they ponder how to dismantle the patriarchy (and cope with a break-up).
