Seeking to create a dedicated space for Iowa-based Black, Indigenous, and other writers of color who were undergraduates, MFAs, or long-term residents, The Englert Theatre is excited to transition the Writers of Color Reading Series to a podcast format. Join us to hear from writers of color who will share a reading of their work and an interview about their personal history and creative process.
