Stage Left: A New Play Festival

Leia and the BAC team partnered up Working Theater and Leaderships for Democracy and Social Justice to produce Stage Left, an innovative new play festival that brings the stories from the frontlines of progressive movements to center stage through six groundbreaking productions. Each play is paired with a community partner —REI Soho Union, Workers Justice Project, Releasing Aging People in Prison, and more—to catalyze conversation and create pathways to immediate, meaningful action. By bridging theater and social change, Stage Left transforms performance into a site of solidarity, reflection, and resistance. Supported by the Murphy Institute and hosted by Playwrights Horizons, this new play festival will explore the power of collective storytelling and redefine what it means for art to be in service of justice.
