We mourn and stand with every Black person who is feeling pain from recent tragedies in relation to anti-Blackness and state violence through policing. We ask that Black people taking action keep themselves safe during this pandemic.

I couldn’t find a list of Black Canadian female playwrights anywhere on the Internet so I decided to make one.

Here are 31 names (1 for every day in March). Collectively these 31 names have written 92 productions.

Read them.
Teach them.
Remount them.
