In 2021, OnyxFest staged six Black-led plays and tripled its audience size from its opening in 2020. Now, the plays can be streamed for free through the end of February on Butler University’s Arts and Events Center (BAEC) website.

Sponsored by the Africana Repertory Theatre of IUPUI, the plays included “Fly Blackbird Fly/Voices We Can’t Unhear” by Latrice P. Young and “That Day in February” by Janice P. Neal. The first is a choreographed poem detailing the stories of several Black women, and the latter focuses on a set of siblings confronting their childhood traumas.

The collaboration with BAEC will make these Indianapolis productions available to a global audience.
