Thank you, thank you, thank you, to those who were able to come to our event on November 14 honoring the legacy of our black playwrights. The talent was outstanding! Our audience wasn't too large, BUT, we had a grand time. Hats off to those who performed and did so with STYLE. Our first place contestant came from right here in our own back yard, Newport News, Va. A PROUD Norfolk State University grad. Second place award went southside to another PROUD Norfolk State University grad, and third prize went to a sophomore from Hampton University. CONGRATS to you all for an outstanding performance. We also paid homage to our black playwrights August Wilson, George C. Wolfe, and Ntozake Shange from whose works the winning monologues were used for the competition. A group picture was taken along with pictures of the winning contestants. Thanks again for a wonderful event!!

Well today is the day and there is still time to purchase tickets. Come and join us for a great evening of enlightenment as we enjoy the contributions of our black playwrights! Here are a few of our contestants!!
