We recently sat down with Reginald L. Douglas, director of The Champion at the Arkansas New Play Fest.
ACTOR SPOTLIGHT: Joy Jones
"Working on a play in a development, I can't fall as deeply in love with any choices or discoveries I've made—because a playwright can cut lines and whole scenes by the next day! [...] But on a positive note, actors in a new play get to bring their big, beautiful storytelling, story-loving brains and hearts to the text."
We met with actress Joy Jones, who will be performing as Nina Simone in The Champion at the Arkansas New Play Fest.
