Tête-à-Tête – Welcome to BTW’s 2026-27 Season
“The 2026/27 season is an invitation to lean in, sit with complexity, challenge assumptions, and discover the stories that bring us closer together, even when the conversation is uncomfortable. Across every program, Tête-à-tête asks us to consider what becomes possible when we truly listen to one another.
This season, we move away from a main stage production offering readings of multiple incredible plays that hit hard. We expand our training program across the country to include MORE artists marginalized by geography, language and access. We revisit and impactful play for young audiences that speaks to the need for intergenerational connection, and finally we double down on providing professional development to playwrights and creators. This season is designed to give audiences and creatives more opportunities to bring our heads together; to take in great storytelling and address the challenging questions woven into daily life.”
– Dian Marie Bridge, Artistic Director
Land Acknowledgment
Black Theatre Workshop (BTW) is located on the traditional and unceded Indigenous lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Tiohtià:ke, also known as Montreal, has been the site of human creativity and storytelling for millennia, and has served as a meeting place of many First Nations peoples, including but not limited to the Abenaki, Anishinaabeg (Algonquin) and Huron-Wendat. Our deepest respect goes out to the Elders of these communities and to all Indigenous peoples who carry the history of these land and waters, caring for it and calling it home.
