Hey Theatre Fam! Oh yeah…I’m so excited to reveal the first cover for the Spring issue of People of Theatre - The Magazine.

This one had to be “Deep Azure”, written by the late Chadwick Boseman and on at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse (The Globe) right now.

‼️I mean…look at lead actors Selina Jones and Jayden Elijah and tell me they’re not completely magnetic, fierce, and heartbreakingly present 🔥

Boseman was inspired by the death of Prince Jones, his friend and fellow Howard University student, killed by police in Virginia in 2000. The play follows Azure, a young Black woman grieving her fiancé, Deep, after he’s killed by a police officer.

📍Inside the magazine, I also speak to director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu (yes, the one many of you know from “For Black Boys”). He talks about why this play matters, and about Boseman’s lyrical craft, shaping a theatrical language rooted in hip hop verse.

It’s rare and necessary to see Black writing revived on its own unapologetic terms, in the story and in the form.

‼️The Spring issue of the print magazine lands on subscribers’ doorsteps at the end of the month.

If you haven’t joined yet, you can subscribe via the link in bio.

Huge thanks to @studiolutalica , a fantastic queer-led design studio that’s supported me in this project to design the magazine! I’m so grateful to them 🫶

‼️”While others chase celebrities, we platform artists!”Please support the magazine!🙏
