Mother of Exiles is nominated for a Venturous Theatre Fellowship

Venturous Theater Fund and the Playwrights’ Center have partnered on a fellowship program that supports playwrights through the advancement of ambitious, risk-taking, and innovative plays by providing writers with two years of residency funding and production advocacy at partner theaters. 

 Nominator Carson Kreitzer had this to say: “Jessica Huang's Mother of Exiles has lingered in my mind ever since I watched the Playwrights' Center Zoom reading, in deep pandemic time, alone in my office, breathing, laughing, weeping. This is a Venturous play in all ways. At once breathtakingly epic and breathtakingly intimate... A play about climate, a play about love, a play about family, generations, hope, despair... a play of Survival.”
