An evening of fun, thought provoking, relevant new works, poetry and interviews -  a result of our commitment to holding space for artists in our community. We provide resources to storytell, to workshop, table read, discuss, devise, perform, and more.  Our  episodes involve over thirty BIPOC artists and the numbers keep growing.

In solidarity with supporting local Black and Brown organizations, Breath of Fire is partnering with Brown Bag Theater Company at UC Irvine. Brown Bag Theater Company is an ensemble of artists & scholars who aim to produce equally engaging & captivating artistic work that reflects & empowers the Latinx communities. They create various opportunities for young Latinx individuals, and our allies, within the performing arts. At BBTC, they believe that the discipline of theatre is a cultural force capable of transforming our community and they bolster this belief whilst celebrating the richness & pride of Latinx culture.

Breath of Fire has been a neighbor, friend and collaborator with Brown Bag Theater Company since 2007. Through our free workshops and community engagement events in Orange County, it is our hope that we continue to foster and support the growth of  BIPOC artists and scholars by supporting Brown Bag Theater Company in their future endeavors for the upcoming school year. www.brownbagtheatre.wixsite.com  / @brownbagtheatre
