Alonzo's profile
Alonzo LaMont, Jr. Playwright/ zulufits.com
I've been writing plays all my adult life, and am proud of what I've been able to achieve. Outside my own personal journey, I've collaborated with outside organizations (Veteran's organizations, senior citizens) to produce work that's brought me a unique sense of fulfillment. I like to think this amplified my own work, and given me valuable internal resources --- (insert laughter) --- if you're a playwright you already know you won't be able to just stay in your room and write. There is a epic difference when you take what you've written from the page to the stage.
