Finally A tangible resource for the forgotten urban playwright
Commonly referred to as the "Chitlin' Circuit" (considered a
negative connotation by many), urban theater is nothing more than a
joke in some circles, but many urban playwrights are laughing all
the way to the bank The truth is, this little known phenomenon has
recently caught the eye of the industry because of the success of
urban playwrights such as Tyler Perry who made the transition from
the stage to a multi-million dollar film and television empire. But
every weekend throughout the country from small church buildings to
large arenas, scores of adoring fans pack out theaters to witness a
rabble rousing gospel or urban play. And no, for the most part the
urban playwright does not have a technical degree in theater, but
they do have a dream often leading to less than desirable technical
results, but at the same time a pleased an uplifted audience.
Beyond the Chitlin' Circuit, The Ultimate Urban Playwright's Guide
is the first to tackle the wild beast of urban theater. At last, a
resource to assist from the creative process, to the stage and
beyond. A practical hands-on guide that can be a reference for
nearly every real life scenario a playwright or producer could run
into in this unpredictable world. And with demands high in major
retailers for urban inspirational plays and films, this is the
perfect time to perfect our craft and move beyond the "Chitlin'
Circuit " to the world's stage
