Let Me Hear It!

This series is designed to provide a platform to work out new works, foster collaboration, and inspire our community through the power of storytelling. We are thrilled to welcome playwright, screenwriter, essayists and novelist to our living room salon to share pieces they’ve been working on and need to hear out loud and/or that they want some input on to further it’s development. This is our first year as a self funded organization so we're offering the space for FREE with donations requested.

The conversation is about Indian Removal in America, Starting in 1763 going to 1907

Hope, a repeatedly laid off American Vietnam veteran, and Londa, an undocumented Trinidadian homemaker, struggle as poverty sinks their family to the depths of no electricity or running water. Lennox Darkeye, a friend on the run from a M**der charge, invites Hope to cash in on “White-Flight” commissions to burn down buildings. Just as Londa gets wind of their scheme, a city-wide electrical blackout grants her hours, minutes, and seconds, to stop them. Set during the historic New York Blackout of 1977, this "Greek Tragedy,” explores the selfish tug inside selfless acts, as even agape (Greek for unconditional love) can be self-serving.

Biography - Jaymes Jorsling

I am Brooklyn born and based writer/actor/painter. Born completely deaf in one ear, to West-Indian immigrants, in Bushwick (when it was synonymous with urban chaos, ravaged by fires, rioting, looting, and the crack epidemic) my art is testimony of struggles, pursuits, and determination. I’m a Magna Cum Laude graduate of The City University Of New York and have received fellowships, grants, and commissions, from Duke University, Brown University, Ucross/Sundance, Pratt Institute, Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference, Brooklyn Museum, BRIC Studios, and others. My play, (A)loft Modulation, ran Off-Broadway and was nominated for many awards. I wrote the script for Grammy nominee Gerald Clayton’s sprawling oeuvre, Piedmont Blues: Search for Salvation, which is currently touring the world. I was a staff writer for TheTruthPodcast.com, and I’ve worked with the NAACP for years, judging high school playwrights for writing scholarships.
I’m also an actor of stage (New York and Regional Theatres), Film (lead actor Randall Dottin’s Academy Award Winning short film A-Alike), Television (The Wire, Law & Order, The Affair, etc.) and commercials & voice-overs (NewBalance, Nike, Dunkin’ Donuts, Verizon, Ford, etc).
