The setup:

2) We'll then mute ourselves to share space for 45 minutes without comment while writing individually, yet simultaneously together.
3) We'll close with a brief check-out to touch base on everyone's progress.
There is no obligation or commitment necessary! Please feel free to join weekly if you're able; otherwise, drop-ins are more than welcome!

The Forge Theater Lab joins Fitchburg State University in recognizing that all lives cannot matter until Black, Brown, and Asian lives matter. We must do better as a society to achieve true justice and safety for all of our citizens, and as artists we take a stand against racism, ignorance, hate, and brutality. The Forge is committed to amplifying a diversity of voices and creating an equitable, welcoming environment for artists of color at all levels of our organization.
