Star Finch is the Mellon Foundation Playwright in Residence at Campo Santo and Crowded Fire Theater. She’s also an alumni of the Resident Playwrights Program (2018-2022) at Playwrights Foundation. In July 2023, Star received an inaugural Playwrights Foundation Launch Award recognizing her career’s dynamic liftoff in the Bay Area.
Join us for an informal reading of scenes from Star's new play, SURFACE, followed by a conversation around its core themes:
What does it mean to be Black at the end of the world? Is Africa still our homeland or should we focus on the American South? Is the Foundational Black American delineation movement an organic direction or a CIA operation?
Let's talk about it! Not in a bot-filled, AI eavesdropping comment section but in the flesh, so we know it's real.
