Scripted
Outside In is dedicated to uplifting theatrical stories that reflect the world we come from, we currently live in and we aspire to create in the future. We support new plays by diverse artists that enlighten our existence and connect us to our communities. Through development we bring the seed of an idea to bloom into a production. We are interested in the process and strive to build brave spaces with resources that will nurture artists to take risks and reach farther than they ever have. We know that we are a step in the journey of a play, a launching pad to the next stop as we give these stories to Los Angeles and the world.

Coco Queens
Written by LaDarrion Williams
Directed by Jessica E. Williams
Coco Queens is set in a small Alabama town during the 1970s and follows four Black women whose lives have been shaped by love, loss, ambition, betrayal, and sisterhood. Each year, the women gather inside Gloria’s neighborhood beauty shop for Coco Queens Weekend, a tradition filled with food, music, laughter, reflection, and healing. When long-buried secrets begin to surface, they are forced to confront the wounds that have divided them and decide whether truth can help guide them back to one another.
