The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford will welcome Brittany Fisher to campus in September to develop her new play, “Your Regularly Scheduled Programming.”

Two public readings of the play will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 and 15 in the O’Neill’s Dina Merrill Theater.

The script was originally selected for the 2022 National Playwrights Conference.

The play is described as follows: A family living in the Deep South struggles to come together in this bizarre and darkly funny exploration of identity, media, and the deep-rooted trauma that continues to haunt the Black race in America.

During her residency, Fisher will receive the full National Playwrights Conference experience. She will spend a week on the O’Neill campus with a full cast and creative team led by director Melissa Mowry dedicated to the exploration of her play. She will also have the full support of the O’Neill literary office and the rest of its staff in her creative endeavors.

Tickets for the public readings are $33, with a 20% discount for O’Neill members. Visit the oneill.org.
