As a playwright, it is not my job to regurgitate or capture the past but to dramatize it!!!
Writing and directing for 20+ years and growing strong!
The Mission
To provide a constant venue of thought-provoking artistic expression based on the historical interpretation of the forgotten voices that will emerge through the arts of stage acting, dance, and music.
The Vision
It is also my desire to involve the youth of surrounding communities with the opportunity to learn and present theater, to help ease the burden of "Urban living " through the expression of dramatization of stage presence and to partner with different organization to bring the community together as a whole body!
The Owner
As an African American Woman in America, it is my hope that my work during this 21st Century, through Emerging Voices Production, LLC. will have opportunity to use the stage through various genres to engage audiences, from all walks of life. To remember the past, feel and live in the present and consciously weigh the possible outcomes of the decisions or the lack thereof which will for many will dictate the future. To remind all people that we have more in common than we do differences!
Psychodrama, which is my preferred style of writing, is a writing form that allows the creative team to adapt informative, healing, and historical storytelling that transforms thoughts, ideas, and lives for all who come to experience it!
As a playwright, my legacy to my family and society is to deliver conscious materials that will inspire the human spirit to live, love, learn and laugh. To resist in order to exist and to leave my imprint on society in hopes that someone will one day look back upon my contributions in order to assess how far we have come and how far we will always have to go!
