Show Notes

Zora Howard is a juggernaut. She stars in "Premature" and co-wrote the script with director Rashaad Ernesto Green. Her performance has an assured authenticity and a new brand of quiet desperation that is remarkable for a first feature. She's been an award-winning creator for years though. Plays, poems, spoken word performances. Her play "Stew" just closed off-broadway to great acclaim. I gush about it and ask where her love of words began, and which of these various paths of creation she's anxious to continue down. She talks about the necessary step of taking off the writer's hat in order to perform in the present moment, and much more.
