Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The District’s African-American community enjoys a rich cultural history. But the city’s African-American playwrights — particularly women — aren’t always heard. Join Kojo as we talk about how these artists are trying to gain more exposure, and the great plays that might be flying under the radar.
Guests
- Karen Evans Founder and President, Black Womens Playwrights' Group
- Lois Wiley Founding Member, Black Women Playwrights' Group; Author of the play, "The Plane Truth"
- Louise Gray Playwright; Author of "Greens: The Musical"
