LYONS PRIDE
The Lyons household may be struggling to stay afloat, but one thing it doesn't lack is pride. A family play about love, identity and overcoming life challenges, Lyons Pride tells the story not only of what it means to be Jamaican and proud, but also the universal struggles shared by all families, immigrant or native, in America
There are a few residencies all playwrights would love to have the opportunity to experience and Space on Ryder Farm happens to be one of those residencies. I have the privilege this fall to spend a week at the Farm for their Creative Residency offered through Page73. There I will write the first draft of my second commissioned play for EST 2019 One-Act Marathon.
I am a new member of the New Georges Jam-Playwright-Director lab. An all female group focused on creating new and strange things while keeping the artist central to the process.
I am also excited to finally share— I am one of the 2018-2019 Fellows at The Playwrights Realm! Where I will be developing my play Lyons Pride.
