Playwright Loy A. Webb: 'Who are the best people to tell this story?'

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. “I was the only poli-sci major taking theater classes,” Webb said in a phone interview. “When I was applying to law school, I knew I also wanted to do theater.” Her “aha” moment came one day during her student years at University of Illinois’ John Marshall Law School in Webb’s native Chicago. She saw a production of August Wilson’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” The experience was revelatory. “I had been feeling down, depressed,” she said candidly. “[When I saw that play] I knew I wanted to be a playwright.”

A Spring Season That Beckons, Even If Theaters Aren't Quite Ready To Reopen

WAM Theatre offers a Fresh Take on 'firsts'

Playwright Rachel Lynett’s “Letters to Kamala” is about firsts. It is, tangentially, about our 49th Vice President, Kamala D. Harris. It is directly about three “first” women who put down the path that led Harris to the vice presidency. It’s about the weight, the sacrifices, the lessons of being first. “Letters to Kamala” also is the first of WAM Theatre’s 2021 First Takes Play Readings series; the first presentation of WAM’s 2021 season — period. The digital reading begins streaming Sunday through the WAM Theatre website — wamtheatre.com — and will be available for viewing anytime between Sunday and March 21. Tickets are priced at $15, $25 or $50.

With the present and future of theatre as we know and love it still largely uncertain, many artists are forging ahead in other ways, creating unique and impressive theatrical experiences via a multitude of mediums.
