"The Black Seed is led by the Billie Holiday Theatre, the CRAFT institute, Plowshares Theatre Company, and WACO Theatre Center." American Theatre magazine With the converging pandemics of COVID-19 and ongoing racial injustices, the Black Seed stands on the shoulders of Black theatre leaders who came before and centered the work by us, for us, about us, and near us, said Dr. Indira Etwaroo, executive artistic director of the Billie Holiday Theatre The Billie has nothing but love for @MonicaNdounou, @ShayWafer, @GaryAnderson

The Black Seed embodies the profound words of Richard Wright: As we - the Black theater field - fling [ourselves] into the unknown to see if we could grow differently, if we could drink of new and cool rains, bend in strange winds, respond to the warmth of other suns and, perhaps, to bloom. https://thebillieholiday.org/about/the-black-seed/
