Margot L. Connolly visited Harvey in January. “I went to visit Ms. Mahony’s playwriting class. I took it six times in my years at Harvey, so it was nice to visit and see the next generation! We just did a Q&A about what my journey in playwriting has been, what differences there are between playwriting in a high school and a college environment and grad school, what my process as a writer is, and what sort of opportunities I’ve had with my work. Then we did an exercise I do with my undergraduate playwriting students that involves looking at structure and story arc by crumpling up paper and tracking the journey of the paper
from smooth and flat to crumpled into a ball to wrinkled and flat again. (It’s more fun/ interesting than it sounds!) I [also] have a short play that was commissioned by the Iowa Arts Share called “Cross-Examined,” which looks at the desegregation of schools in Keokuk, Iowa, in 1894 through the eyes of two mothers of African-American boys who sued the Keokuk school district — that’s been getting quite a few productions at the moment for MLK Day, which has been interesting!” www.writemargotwrite.weebly.com See more on Margot’s journey of discovery starting on page 12.
