An Incredible New York City Experience for Three Boston Teens

More from Meg Wieder, Education Manager:

This weekend proved to be an incredible experience for our department and for the three young people who represented Boston at the August Wilson Monologue Competition. The pool of 21 competitors was narrowed down to 15 Finalists, including our very own Tyrel Joseph and Reeana Johnson. The national title went to Saidah Wade from the Atlanta competition.

Though our contestants did not place in the top three, it's clear they were treated as winners all weekend, with top-notch experiences to match.

Lydia Diamond on Finding Artistic Home in Boston

We recently had an opportunity to sit down with STICK FLY playwright (and Huntington Playwriting Fellow!) Lydia R. Diamond to discuss her experience with the Huntington Playwriting Fellow program, her artistic life in Boston — and of course, the excitement of seeing STICK FLY on Broadway, once again under the watchful direction of one Kenny Leon, and produced by Alicia Keys.

STICK FLY lands on Broadway

Lydia Diamond, Kenny Leon, and producer Alicia Keys talk about Stick Fly on Broadway. Did you see the Huntington Theatre Company/Arena Stage production? Are you planning to see it in NY?
