The Writers Block

Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop is proud to announce our new community program, The Writers Block, which is open to anyone who wants to work on their writing craft. While participants do not have to identify as professional writers, each session will focus on a different aspect of the writing process and cater to the needs of Black writers who aim to generate, polish, and produce their work.

Your Writing. Your Process. 

Tips for creating a mindful journaling practice? Want to learn how to write a script treatment? Perhaps you are looking for a writing community and don’t know where to start. The Writers Block is a creative opportunity to let yourself play with words, genre, and among fellow storytellers at all stages of writing.
