Summer colds, unexpected South Carolina treks and a home improvement project have tipped the scales more toward “mom” than “playwright” these last couple of weeks. It’s all good. Such is life.
Shifting back into my groove today I had the pleasure of taking in readings of Psychology of Chromosome X and A Lovely Malfunction by Shontina Vernon, as a part of the National Black Arts Festival’s Discovery: A New Play Development Project.
Whew! I’m no prude, but there was a whole lot of sex talk goin’ on that got me to wondering how much I could handle as I questioned where I stood among the characters presented. I loved that! I enjoy being challenged and pushed to defend or further consider my stances and examine the root of their origins.
This is why I love and appreciate theatre–I grow from every encounter. Be sure to keep an eye out for Shontina Vernon’s work and dare to go bare.
