There's also a link below to a short documentary about a Southern tour organized by the great Alabama Shakespeare Festival, which included our own core ensemble member David Lee Nelson. We miss David greatly, and it's a great insight into his passion for theatre, the South, and leaving this world a better place. We are all better for having had David in our lives.

Elyzabeth's piece in the PORTLAND REVIEW

On October 20, 2018, during the Southern Writers Festival of New Plays, Alabama Shakespeare Festival debuted a short film that documents the State of the South tour and outlines our plans for developing new work in the South. About the State of the South: Artistic Director Rick Dildine curated a diverse group of Southern playwrights whose work reflects the ever-evolving face of the South: David Lee Nelson, Donnetta Lavinia Grays, Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder, and Addae Moon. The tour made stops in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Tennessee and met with residents in towns of all sizes. Through one-on-one interviews and group story circles, the State of the South creative team sought to answer: Who is the South? What is the South? Where is the South?
