Through Toni Morrison’s Atelier Program, I’ll be teaching a course this Fall entitled “Dramatizing History:Playwriting, Music Theater, Performance.” Joining me as co-instructor will be musical wizard and good friend Justin Ellington, who I’ve collaborated with on the last three plays(Fetch Clay, Make Man, Five Fingers of Funk, and The Seven). Over the course of developing these works, we’ve spent a lot of time discussing how we might convey what we do, what we’ve done, and what we’re still learning to do. This is our first time collaborating at a university-very much looking forward to it. To the students who auditioned and were accepted into this course, y’all get ready now!
