We came back from Zimbabwe with a sense of what's happening there, which we will share with New York City audiences in February of next year, details to come.
Zimbabwe holds a dear space in our hearts and we have made a commitment to travel there every year. Our next Zimbabwe Project starts in the Fall of 2008 when we take 2 foreign playwrights and one Zimbabwean playwright on a wild journey throughout the country to gather experiences to be formed into a play called "III Acts". Each playwright will write one Act based on experiences and stories they would like to share. The play will be performed at the 2009 HIFA (Harare International Festival of the Arts) celebration by members of the Bulawayo Young Company.
The Bulawayo Young Company is a group of student actors who are currently being trained at Amakhosi Theatre in Bulawayo with help from members of Amakhosi and Dramatic Adventure Theatre's Staff. They are extremely talented young people and we are excitedly watching them grow into their talent.
THE ECUADOR PROJECT
Our next journey will be to Ecuador- and we're still looking for the PLAYWRIGHT! This team will consist of One Director, One Playwright and Six actors. We will spend close to 2 months in Ecuador listening, learning, and sharing with individuals all across the country.
Let us know if you're interested in being the playwright for this unique project by e-mailing Mary at [email protected].

DAT would love for a documentary film maker to come with us on one of our trips.
