Interview with Playwright and Screenwriter Eric Christopher Jones!

American Skin : The Musical. This is about everyday Americans who have been murdered in this county because of the color of their skin.

 Tell us about The One Nation Project, Liberators and Fired.

We are in production in Houston for The One Nation Project. This show will spotlight  Two upcoming Musicals Liberators & Fired! The Musical which will premier at Queensbury Theatre. Liberators will make its US debut at the Chicago Musical Theatre Festival in 2018.

Why do you perform/write/act?

I write musical theatre because it’s the only art form that combines all the things I love in the arts. Music. Dance. Drama. I feel there is a great need for more black musical theatre writers & our works are not being shown off-Broadway.

  What advice do you have for Black, Latinx and Afrolatinx theatre artists? How can people find your work?

Never give up! Be bold! Stay true to the work you’ve created.. Learn. Learn. Learn.

What has been a challenge in this career?

Simply trying to find that one influential person to notice your work. I’m not so concerned about the crowds & the Fame. I just want to reach that one person who will see my work & their lives are changed.

Plugs please.
