WRITER'S SOIRÉE
The May 16 Writers Soiree will feature a one-act play by William Marley, part of his Mis'sippi Medley trilogy addressing different forms of civil rights involving his birth town of Jackson, Mississippi. "The Perfect Place" is the second act of the trilogy; several of you have seen "In Sepia Tone" and "Black Jesus" at previous Writers Soirees.

The author of over 40 plays, William Marley has studied playwriting with Jeffrey Sweet in New York City, Kate Aspengren at the University of Iowa and has taught the Craft of Playwriting at Northampton Community College, Bethlehem. His plays, many award winners, have been produced in New York City; Brooklyn, NY; Louisville, KY; Wilmington, DE; and in Pennsylvania by Lafayette College and all of the community theatres in the Lehigh Valley. Marley's play, "Crossing Paths" was the Grand Prize winner of the Lamia Ink! International Playwriting Competition in 1999. His one-act play, "Commitments," was a finalist in the 2007 Raymond J. Flores Short Play Series and received a equity staged-reading in New York City. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America, Inc.
