The Chattahoochee Shakespeare Co.'s next production is a collaboration with the Liberty Theatre.
The Liberty's Gayle Daniels was unable to get the rights to the play she had scheduled to start next week. Since ChattShakes' Troy Heard had been using the Liberty to present his plays, she asked him to find a play and direct it.
So he thought of his friend Desiree Samone, whom he met at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Troy was working on his master's degree in directing and Desiree was an undergraduate, taking a class where he was the teaching assistant.
He remembered her senior project about a young woman who wants to be a jazz singer against her mother's wishes.
The past few months, he's been working with her to flesh it out to a full play.
"A Love Supreme" will be presented, beginning next weekend.
I saw a little bit of it tonight. If you go on opening night, you'll get to meet the playwright.
And when she becomes famous, you can say, "I met her one night at the Liberty Theatre."
