dedicated discovered love people scene side
The L.A. theater scene is very different. The perception has been that people who love theater do theater in New York. The people who want to be discovered do theater on the side in L.A. But there are people who are very dedicated to theater who love theater in L.A.
first-love thinking ideas
I think theater will always be my first love. Ive been doing it since I was nine, and theres nothing quite like being on stage, having the immediate intake of energy and exchange of ideas.
acting august forced learned school shakespeare single wilson work
African-Americans are always forced to learn the other culture, but the other culture is not forced to learn ours. I went to acting school at Juilliard, and we learned Shakespeare and Shaw, but we never did the work of a single African-American playwright, not August Wilson or Ntozake Shange or Imir Baraka.

I'm really looking forward to developing just really fun, complex, interesting stories about people who happen to be black.
shows
I like shows that are ensemble-based, that explore the humanity of every character.
