Chasing breadcrumbs
By Michelle Tyrene Johnson
Directed by Betty Hart
February 20 - March 9, 2025
Dairy Arts Center
2590 Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80302
Serena, a playwright who has been commissioned by an organization with questionable intentions, navigates a minefield of “Karens”, creative compromises, and re-written history. Chasing Breadcrumbs explores how a Black woman navigates the world and discovers her need to tell a story that money can’t buy.
The cast of Chasing Breadcrumbs is sponsored in part by Mark & Jamie Ragan on behalf of the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company.
Chasing Breadcrumbs is generously co-sponsored by Diana & Mike Kinsey.

PLAYWRITING COURSES FOR ADULTS
No, this isn’t a class about how playwrights make themselves better human beings. It’s about the ways that playwrights can build sharp, distinct, and vivid characters to better inhabit their plays. From the rooter to the tooter, every aspect of writing a play allows a writer to tell an audience who each character is. Along with the obvious tools of dialogue and character description, we explore how props, costuming, stage directions, even the play’s title can do double duty to sculpt characterization.
