With Summer 2023 in full swing and the Theatre in Community Series launched, we at Creativists in Dialogue have decided to mix things up a bit. We will alternate Creativists and Theatre in Community episodes. We will also repost some of our most popular Creativists episodes and experiment with some thematic interview composites of earlier posts.
With this in mind, this week Creativists in Dialogue reposts the interview that launched this podcast more than five months ago, the fabulous Joy Jones.
Joy is the author of five books. Her most recent is the Young Adult novel Jayla Jumps In. She won the 2022 PEN Phyllis Naylor Grant for Children’s and Young Adult Novelists for her then work-in-progress, Walking The Boomerang. She has received fellowships from the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, and is currently co-authoring a biography with Tom Adams of the couple that co-founded AA and Al-Anon, respectively, Bill and Lois Wilson; A Marriage That Saved The World,
Joy is also a playwright, an educator, a public speaker, a daughter, a Double-Dutch expert, and a dear friend.
