Believing -From ReginaldEdmund
To my friends and my family,
Thank you for supporting me and believing in me...
I have a story to tell you! Yestersday, I'm laying in my bed, staring up at my
ceiling fan going round and round, and I'm contemplating that maybe this
playwriting thing isn't for me anymore. That I'm foolish for pursuing this
career I've chosen. Thinking to myself, what sense does it make for me to
continue chasing my dreams, That I should just give up. About to finish grad
school and not certain where I was suppose to go from there...I was feeling
like I was experiencing the darkest moment of my life.
And that's when it happened...
Right when I was about to give up faith, that I've been put on this earth so
that my voice and my stories could help change and impact my community for the
better. I recieve a personal phone call, from an angel, in the form of Gregg
Henry, the Artistic Director of the Kennedy
Center-American College Theatre Festival. And he tells me, that I've been
selected as the runner-up for not just one NATIONAL AWARD... BUT TWO...
That's right ReginaldEdmund has been named runner-up
for both the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award and The Rosa Parks Playwright
Award, for my newest play 'SOUTHBRIDGE'. The two awards
are given for the best KC/ACTF student-written plays of the subject of the
African-American experience.
This play is currently in its third major draft, and I can promise that it's
going to ignite a fire in the souls of audiences when they see my thesis
production of it, during the Seabury Quinn Jr. Playwrights' Festival at OhioUniversity.
May 20-23, 2009 (Check it out: http://www.ohioplaywriting.org/
) I gotta tell you, on top of that, OU's School of Theatre has sent me, a 2nd
Year MFA director who is great. VanessaMercadoTaylor
is her name and she is going to create magic with this script.
On top of that I've recently be accepted into the Prague Summer Writers
Program. I'll tell you more about that some other time. In the mean time check
out my website ( http://www.reginaldedmund.com
) and just remember next time your about to give up, and let go of your dreams,
never let go of your faith cause that's exactly the time a blessing is going to
come your way...
