Black Solo is The Watah Theatre's yearly anthology publishing the works of our artist-in-residence. These plays are a result of a year of diligent work on the part of 11 new Black and diverse monodramatists. They are artists-in-residence in the PADI and TAP programs at the Watah Theatre. Each Play speaks its own biomytho-graphical truth as the playwrights experiment with the Anitafrika Method using the Sorplusi Principles.

Watah, founded by dub artist storyteller d'bi.young anitafrika, re-envisions professional artistic development from the inter-sectional anti-oppressive perspectives of artists who are Black and diverse, womxn, newcomers and LGBTQQl2PSAA people. Watah is a call to action to recognize the depths of healing art provides us, and is a loving recognition that now, here, in our city it is time to create a mentorship practice that is w/holistic.
