Browne's BLACK GIRLS DON'T SMILE MOSAIC IN FRONT OF STRANGERS (co-presented with the Hip-Hop Theater Festival), a story of transformation in the heart/cracked globe of a city where apples, lights and love seek refuge; and BREAKING OUR SILENCE, featuring LGBTQ poets sharing their experiences of coming out, finding love and crashing through the barriers of shame and silence to emerge into a new world, curated by JoAnna Hoffman and Elliott D. Smith; and Warrior Writers NYC's FROM TABLE TO STAGE. Play readings include SHE WHO STRUGGLES by LaTonia Phipps, BRAIDED SORROW by Marisela Treviño Orta, BLOOD QUANTUM by Tanaya Winder, and THE WILL TO KNOWLEDGE by Takeo Rivera (playwright of the award-winning spoken word choreo-poem, Goliath).
