For our current and future students

For our current and future students, and alumni of Boston University’s Playwriting Program:

We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

We grieve for the lives lost to police violence.

We support peaceful protest here in Boston, Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, and across the United States and the world.

We educate.
We write.
We vote.
We hear you.
