By establishing a development series for new works\, BWBTC not only supports the creation of scripts that meet our mission and that we can produce\, but scripts that can go beyond Chicago to increase the visibility of a wide variety of fierce folks on stage. \nEach year since 2005\, BWBTC selects three scripts for development that have the potential to grow into the kinds of plays that fit its mission. Several of the Fighting Words selections have been seen as full productions with BWBTC\, as well as other theatre companies: most recently Women of 4G\, 180 Degree Rule\, Patchwork Drifter\, L’Imbecile\, Promise of a Rose Garden (Jeff Recommended\,) Bo Thomas and the Case of the Sky Pirates and The Lady Demands Satisfaction (Jeff Recommended). \nEach 2020-21 script has undergone two reading-and-feedback sessions with the ensemble and invited guests. BWBTC is presenting the final reading of each script in a festival format: The Fighting Words Festival. \n  \nLearn more about Fighting Words or submit your own script.
