FRIGID New York presents the 2024 The Fire This Time Festival at a brand new home this January. The Obie Award-winning festival celebrates its 15th anniversary at wild project with the return of its annual Ten-Minute Play Program. The full festival schedule, which includes a community themed event and a staged reading of a full-length play by TFTT Founder and Executive Director Kelley Girod, is forthcoming.
The six playwrights whose ten-minute plays will receive their world premiere include Taylor A. Blackman, Kamilah Bush, Leelee Jackson, Monique Pappas-Williams, Nia Akilah Robinson and Joël René Scoville. Cezar Williams, the Producing Artistic Director of The Fire This Time who directed the 8th annual Ten-Minute Play Program, returns to direct the 15th anniversary Ten-Minute Play Program.
In season 15, the ten-minute plays all focus on Black women and the Black family with themes ranging from a family who redefines the meaning of kinship, both biological and chosen, and another family who deals with the psychological toll racism has on their teenage daughter; women navigating careers as artists and activists and the demands it places on their private lives; young women confronting colorism within the Black community; and women being empowered to reclaim their agency and autonomy by refusing to be confined by unfulfilling relationships.
