Meet The Playwright Presents ImmerenSIS

Dezi Eivah Bing is an actress, writer, and voice over artist whose recent work includes starring in Shatara Michelle Ford’s sophomoric indie film “Dreams in Nightmares,” which had its international premiere at The Berlin International Film Festival. Dezi was also recently published in “The Root Magazine,” one of America’s most renowned historically black news publications, with over half a million followers on Instagram.

As a playwright and storyteller, she was a semi-finalist for The Terrence McNally New Works Incubator Workshop and the National Playwrights Conference, and a finalist for the Downtown Urban Arts Festival. She completed a yearlong Kenan Institute Playwriting Fellowship at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. where she wrote and workshopped her first two plays of a multi-series collection entitled The Peculiar Awakening of Riley Parker and The Isle of Dunne. Dezi graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts with a BFA in acting/writing and is currently working on two novels (Liberian Girl: Obligation & Optics, My Journey to Authenticity in an Inauthentic World and Diary of a Changeling) and other assorted poems and writings.
