Write It Out! is calling for HIV+ playwrights
Created by award-winning playwright Donja R. Love, Write It Out! provides an affirming space for people living with HIV to create their narratives in a theatrical framing.
Writers accepted into the ten-week program will participate in virtual workshops twice a week led by Donja R. Love that will focus on creating a community for people of similar lived experience to express themselves freely. The program will culminate in a sharing of the participants’ work at The Lark with professional actors and directors.

(WIO!) builds community for people of similar lived experiences to express themselves freely while amplifying the visibility of PLWHIV in the theater and beyond.
