:: Center Theatre Group’s Writers Retreat 5/13-5/15/2022:: I’m still processing the magnitude of this weekend where 10 of the finest female-identifying mostly BIPOC actors in LA read the works-in-progress of the all female-identifying mostly BIPOC @ctgla’s 2021-2022 Writers Workshop— which includes me. I mean, I’m still processing the notion that I’ve been a part of this cohort of brilliant, established playwrights for the last 10 months, that I can actually call myself their peer! But I have to give unending thanks to @theluisalfaro, El Maestro my Maestro, who asked me to join a group of this caliber programmed by a theatre of this renown like it was the most natural thing in the world bc he somehow had a feeling that I had my own stories to tell after seeing me as an actor @osfashland — & dropped in my lap this unbelievable, life changing gift that I couldn’t even fathom was available to me & has now opened for me a mostly uncharted new artistic path. So it took a while to officially post anything about it until now— but after being in this (Covid compliant) room full of gifted & generous humans all weekend, experiencing my own words meeting the masterful artistry of these actors— some who were already friends & colleagues & the rest I’ve respected & admired from afar for years to finally meet now— & bolstered by the support & encouragement of my fellow playwrights who are now my dear friends— I’d like to take that scary leap & officially announce: I AM A PLAYWRIGHT. And my play will be a part of @ctgla’s festival of new work at the @kirkdouglastheatre this September 2022. There’s no turning back now. 😬🥹🙋🏻♀️🥰💀 (at Center Theatre Group-Los Angls) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdo5tLCpySi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
