🗣️ Calling all TGNC Playwrights!
| | Baltimore Center Stage and Breaking the Binary Theatre are proud to announce: |  |
The Trans History Project is a revolutionary national initiative created by Bo Frazier, Baltimore Center Stage's Artist-in-Residence.
Trans and Gender Non-Conforming people have existed since the beginning of time across all cultures, yet we never learned this in our history classes. In an effort to teach the world our TGNC history and build a "Trans Canon", Baltimore Center Stage is partnering with Breaking The Binary Theatre and other forward-thinking theatrical institutions across the country as we aim to commission, workshop, and publish 10 new plays by 10 TGNC writers of varying cultures, allowing them to tell stories of TGNC folks from history/folklore and how it relates to the aggressive legislative attacks seeking to "eradicate" the TGNC community from society.

We are looking for TGNC playwrights/writers/director-generators across the country who want to write a brand new play or have a first draft of a play about TGNC history. Cohort 1 of playwrights will begin a 2-year residency at a theatre in the 2025/26 season. For full application requirements, please visit our website.
Applications are due Sunday, May 11, 2025 at 11:59pm EST
