Apollo Presents: The Fire This Time Festival

The 17th Annual Fire This Time Festival breaks ground this winter at The Apollo Stages at The Victoria. Don't miss the incredible lineup of six world-premiere 10-minute plays cover a range from the humuorus to moving, pointed, and political, all directed by preeminent director and creator, Ken-Matt Martin. ABOUT THE FIRE THIS TIME FESTIVAL: Founded in 2009 by playwright and Apollo's Director of New Works, Kelley Nicole Girod, The Fire This Time Festival provides a platform for early career playwrights of African and African American descent. Since its founding, the Festival has produced the plays of dozens of emerging writers whose works explore a wide range of themes and perspectives. The Festival also supports actors, directors, and technical personnel to help seed the pipeline with diverse talent and amplify underrepresented voices in theater in New York and beyond.
