7    Since this interview is for a blog, is there anything you would like the public to know about you? Or your projects?

The plays Darnell writes are based on social issues that affect the community and they often offer solutions for the issues people face and how they could better manage their problems.  The shows have messages and Darnell calls it “edutainment.”

How long have you been writing plays?

Darnell was a young child when he started writing.  He was still in elementary school, but he would write plays and him and his little sister would act out the shows for his grandmother. 

As we spoke, he said he was at his grandmother’s house and that was a great reminder of how far he came from that little boy he was to the man he became.  Darnell is doing some good things for the community in Philadelphia, PA, also where I grew up.  Now he is making some of his dreams come true, so I wanted to show him some support and give him some recognition. Much Respect.
