The Process Of Developing My Voice As A Playwright: Based On The Creation Of An Original Play

by Vanterpool, Irad

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the process of developing my voice as a playwright through scholarly research. In collaboration with my research, I have created an original play through the process, which I refer to in my paper. The play places certain issues to the forefront in order to analyze what elements or contributing factors play a role in the lives of African American men. In this thesis I explore the influences that helped create my voice and the process of creating a play reflective of those inspirations in my writing and hence my voice.
