Reverie Theatre Group is thrilled to announce the world premiere of SUITE MEETING, by Brysen Boyd, and directed by Daria-Lyric Montaquila. Reverie has been collaborating with Boyd as the organization's resident playwright on the development of SUITE MEETING since 2022. The process included several staged reading performances and an internal workshop to provide Boyd crucial feedback in finalizing the script and preparing the work for a world premiere run.

SUITE MEETING chronicles the relationship between four young college suitemates and their RA over a ten-year period, which begins with a fight over a missing wallet and ends with a much more tragic and trying event – the shocking death of one of their own. The play brings to light the unique challenges of young BIPOC women and explores themes of racism, classicism, identity, and the benefits and difficulties surrounding self-reflection.

This production of SUITE MEETING features Rhode Island and Massachusetts-based talent and several artists who have participated in past readings and workshops of the play.

Tickets begin at $10. However, Reverie's administration believes that finances should never be a barrier to experiencing theatre. Please contact us at info@reverietheatregroup.org if you would like to attend a performance free of charge.

Performances will take place at the Bill Hutchinson Black Box Theater & 134 Collaborative, located at 134 Mathewson Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02903.

Reverie Theatre Group would like to thank the City of Providence Department of Art, Culture & Tourism for crucial funding to produce SUITE MEETING, as well as the following season sponsors: Vast, Inc., Cobblestone Graphics, Myth Forge, and SEMTech Solutions.
