Meet The Playwright Presents At God's Back

Join us for our free theatre series, Meet the Playwright! Meet the Playwright offers an inside look at the creative process through semi-staged readings by Queens-based BIIPOC playwrights and post-show conversations with the creative teams.This presentation features the play At God's Back by Camille Simone Thomas.

Camille Simone Thomas is a 5th generation Detroiter through her father’s side and a first generation Jamaican through her mothers. It’s important for her to name this because her work most often interrogates cultural legacies, familial healing, spirituality + ancestral wisdom, and the general kicking and screaming of how Black folks get free despite the oppressive forces of colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. She’s a multi-hyphenate playwright-producer-performer-educator. She's was most recently in the2024/2025 Civilians R&D Group, 2024/25 Artistic Research Fellow at The Folger in DC, and is currently the 2024/25 JACKLabs Artist.
