"Black history in Boston is hidden in plain sight. You have to take it upon yourself to learn it, figure it out, find it and visit it.” — A New Era playwright Miranda Austen ADEkoje, @wbur.org www.wbur.org/news/2026/07...

"As a Black woman, the main thing is being able to live, in dignity, first and foremost." — playwright Miranda Austen ADEkoje on A New Era artsfuse.org/331427/playw...

Nicole Estvanik Taylor talks to playwright Miranda Austen ADEkoje about the @companyone.org production of her drama "A New Era," which revisits an 1895 gathering of Black women activists, uncovering the tensions, ambitions, and humanity behind a historic coalition. artsfuse.org/331427/playw...

“Our current political moment feels akin to that of 1895... Then and now, people see hope and opportunity being erased from this country. There’s no better way to equip ourselves to resist this than to know that history and to understand it.” — Summer L. Williams baystatebanner.com/2026/07/08/t...

What does it mean to return to the land of your ancestors, even when that land holds painful history? That’s one of the questions The Meeting Tree's dramaturgy team pose in the blog post Reclaiming Our Roots: Returning to Ancestral Homes. Read it here: c1meetingtree.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/r...

"The Meeting Tree is a perfect 75-minute play... with director [Summer L.] Williams’ guidance, the cast tells one hell of a story." Read the full review: www.netheatregeek.com/2025/07/29/w...

"Poignant and meaningful... the play presents the struggle for reparations for centuries of racial injustice in microcosm." Read the full review: stageandcinema.com/2025/07/27/r...
