The HBMG Foundation describes its annual retreat in the San Juan Mountains as one that “prioritizes the playwright, not the work being produced.” 2018 residents include Amy Gijsbers van Wijk (MFA '16) and Tracy Held Potter (MFA '15).
Ensemble Studio Theatre LA recently presented Potter's play GROUNDING as part of LA FEST. Meanwhile, on the East Coast, Red Caravan presented Gijsbers can Wijk's DIRTY DIRTY in their Beehive Collective series. The reading benefited Days for Girls, a non-profit which aids in giving women all across the world access to menstrual hygiene products that are hand-made, sustainable, and created for specific living conditions and needs.
