Broadway Bound Theatre Festival

BBTF will be the first theatre festival to open again live at Theatre Row, 410 42^nd St. NYC NY September 7 through October 3, 2021. COVID-19 compliant, BBTF looks forward to safely sharing the work of their originally scheduled 2020 Season playwrights, with five additional playwrights, to create the BBTF 2021 Season.

“We have always moved forward with confidence during these uncertain times and are happy to be one of the first Off-Broadway productions to open this late summer,” says Lenore Skomal, BBTF founder and director. “Our playwrights have hung with us, most of them believing that they would be part of BBTF 2020 last August. They have been patient and now that patience is paying off. I couldn’t be more excited about this 2021 festival.”

BBTF has undergone its own transformation since last year, acting in solidarity with everyone fighting injustice and appointing an All Artists Anti-Racism Board to help raise awareness and create a mission statement that is targeted to breaking down existing barriers for playwrights and theatre-makers.

“The last year has been very thoughtful. I believe BBTF has transformed and must continue to transform as we decolonize white settler myths and consider what justice demands,” says Emily Goes, BBTF’s Marketing Director. “There is not a workshop or a curriculum or festival that once finished, ensures a complete understanding of equity. This is an everyday process. I’m so excited to see all the plays and musicals shine this fall, and I’m so excited for BBTF to continue providing instrumental tools and support for playwrights, theatre-makers, storytellers to produce new works that are conscious of our ever changing social, cultural and historic reality.” 

See you at Theatre Row for a great lineup of new plays and musicals. Tickets are LIVE and can be purchased here. Please bring awareness to the trigger warnings listed under each play and musical.
