We make ideas concrete. In order to do that, we first accept that writing is a process — an act in which we will participate our whole life long.

We are determined to work hard in order to play well with Language. Let the games begin. What we will express this year has never been said before.

A study of African American dramatic literature to explore the complex ways in which the black experience is constructed and presented by playwrights.
