As a pre-law political science major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Loy A. Webb had a strong feeling she was destined for a career in theater.
âI was the only poli-sci major taking theater classes,â Webb said in a phone interview. âWhen I was applying to law school, I knew I also wanted to do theater.â
Her âahaâ moment came one day during her student years at University of Illinoisâ John Marshall Law School in Webbâs native Chicago. She saw a production of August Wilsonâs âMa Raineyâs Black Bottom.â The experience was revelatory.
âI had been feeling down, depressed,â she said candidly. â[When I saw that play] I knew I wanted to be a playwright.â
