Rites of Passage

After a nationwide search, our Writers Room has been underway Summer 2025 to create a new 20–30 minute one-act play exploring the theme Rites of Passage.

Across cultures and histories, rites of passage mark life’s turning points: birth, death, coming of age, initiation, embodiment, exile, return. For trans people, these rites are often erased, denied, invented, and reimagined. This year’s theme invites us to explore the moments and thresholds that shape us and our lineages, whether personal, cultural, spiritual, or historical.

Writers develop their plays in a facilitated writers’ room, with regular feedback from peers, a playwright facilitator, and the show’s director. Our program culminates in a fully produced World Premiere run in Los Angeles in December 2025, directed by Nico Pang and produced by Petey Gibson.
