Last year’s Dramatic Reading Series celebrating “Women Of Color” was a terrific success and was all the buzz around town. Audience members were treated to brilliant performances and three dynamic plays: For Colored Girls. . ., From The Mississippi Delta, and Having Our Say. On stage were some of Evanston’s and Chicago’s most talented actors, including Jacqueline Williams, Cheryl Lynn Bruce, Alan Arenas, Joi-Anissa Russell, Erika Ratcliff and Millie Langford.
