About this event

Round House Theatre is providing free tickets to BMAV as part of its program to partner with nonprofit community organizations. Join BMAV members for the "incendiary and provocative world premiere" of of "A Jumping-Off Point." Full of humor and complex characters, A Jumping-Off Point is a sharp and electric new play from rising star playwright and screenwriter Inda Craig-Galván.

Leslie Wallace is a promising Black writer who has just landed her first deal with HBO. Her celebration is cut short when she gets a surprise visit from Andrew, a white man from her grad school cohort, who accuses her of plagiarizing his script. Their confrontation—and eventual uneasy alliance—forces a reckoning on representation, privilege, and who gets to tell what kinds of stories.
10 tickets are available, first come first served. RSVP required. Tickets will be emailed to attendees.

Paid parking is available at a flat rate of $6 for Round House patrons entering after 6 pm - underneath the theatre at 7501 Wisconsin Ave.
