Name: Phil Williams
What is your current project?
“#bitchdrinks”, a social commentary on the misconceptions of women in today’s society, using poetry and spoken word to dissect, and debunk some of their myths and myriads, as well as address obstacles they inexplicably face.

A new play called “Between The Lines” written by our playwright-in-residence, Chris Patterson, to premiere this fall.

HARAM! IRAN!
Any advice for your peers?
Never stop listening to others. If you are collaborating with other artists, leave no stone unturned and always be open to absolutely anything.
