Liberation Theatre Company Writing Residency Program2023/24
Our FOUR new playwrights...

Rudy Bamenga

Rudy Bamenga is a French-born, NYC-based writer, performer, and storyteller who traces his descent from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is his hope and goal as an artist to share stories of the human condition that reflect underrepresented journeys still not fully seen in this ever-evolving world.

Olga El

Olga El is an award-winning emerging playwright who aims to inspire change on the level of the personal, communal, and beyond that will ultimately lead to a more just, compassionate, and healthy society. Movement, particularly martial arts, aerial arts, and dances from all over Africa and the Diaspora, is seamlessly interwoven into her work.

Anthony T. Goss

Anthony T. Goss is a New York City-based actor/writer from Boston. He grew up playing basketball but upon graduating from college transitioned from athlete to artist. He has written films that have screened at festivals, and recently his short film The Exception was a finalist in the Ida B. Wells Disrupting the Master Narrative Fund.

Jerrica D. White

Jerrica D. White aims to create space to experience freedom through storytelling. She examines the spectrum of Blackness with a focus on family dynamics, relationships, love, and mental health. She is a disrupter and through her words, aims to bring her audience into cycles of self-love, healing, greater faith, and joy.

We are excited by the opportunity to work with this year’s group of playwrights.

All four of them have only recently started their careers but view this residency as a chance to focus on their writing in the company of people who will understand and support them. To provide a supportive, nurturing yet challenging environment for Black playwrights has been our objective since Year One of the program. Sandra A. Daley-Sharif
