Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, MOXIE Theatre will present a Season of three fully staged productions and a New Works Festival, all featuring work written by women+ playwrights, at least 50% of which being people of color, that tell stories that defy stereotypes and amplify the voices of historically under-represented communities.

MOXIE will also launch a new Heritage Month Series of one-day engagement events celebrating different cultural heritages through a variety of formats; and offer educational workshops in playwriting and devised theatre to middle and high-school students, with priority given to schools who serve marginalized populations, such as immigrant and justice-impacted youth.

Organization Summary

MOXIE Theatre presents to San Diego audiences a season of mainstage productions every year. Each show runs for 5 weeks in their 99-seat theatre space located in the College Area of the city. All works produced by MOXIE are written by women+ identifying playwrights and directed by women+ directors. At least 50% of playwrights produced every year are people of color, as well as 50% of the artists hired each season on stage and behind the scenes. For every show, experts on the themes of the plays and community partners representative of the populations seen on stage are invited for pre or post-show conversations with the audience to offer additional insight. Student matinees are also organized for local high schools, particularly schools serving a low income student population.
