About Absolute Theatre Group

Absolute is a new theater group here in Vegas made up of young adults who love the art of performance. It is lead by Lalanya Abner a talented Actress, Coach and Director. She is a graduate of Howard University and was trained under master teachers Susan Batson and Carl Ford. Her passion and love for the art is the driving force behind Absolute. “We do it because we love it, we respect it, we’re sincere about it, we want to create art and have fun in the process”.

SOIL was written 10 years ago by Charles Drew who founded Absolute Theater in New York City. When he came to visit Lalanya’s class and saw the class was heavily populated with young guys it inspired him and Lalanya to take SOIL off the shelf, dust it off and re-work it, bringing it up to date post-Obama. For Lalanya, this is her directing debut, it’s alway been her dream to direct theater and she’s grateful to Charles Drew and the cast for trusting her.

ARTIST ON ARTIST / SARAH MORRISON

Posted on April 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

On March 20 2010 the beautiful and hilariously funny Sarah Morrison allowed me to interview her. We went back and forward through email for a while and this is what we came up with. PeeP son!

Jus Buckingham: Where are you from?

Sarah Morrison: Boston, Massachusetts

Jus: Being from Boston how did you end up in NYC? Then onto LA?

Sarah: I lived in LA first. I moved out here after college. I spent a few years out here working at clubs and throwing parties and then moved to New York. I worked at a girl’s streetwear magazine in Brooklyn called Missbehave. I moved back to LA after that ended.

Jus: What is it that you do?

Sarah: I am a writer. I also have a really great grasp of marketing and people hire me to do that too. I freelance doing both things from my home office.

Jus: How did you get your start?

Sarah: I wrote a personal blog every week called Sarah Morrison’s Best Week Ever. It detailed funny things people said, did, stuff that happened in my week. People enjoyed it and enjoyed reading about my life. That lead to my writing getting tighter and me getting paid to do so.

Jus: Where do you see yourself professionally in ten years?

Sara: 5 years ago I would have said as the editor of my own magazine. Now that magazines are done, I have no idea. It’s a waiting game right now with the internet. I don’t know how things will continue to evolve in regards to professional writers.

Jus: Now let’s get down to business… Nas or Jay-Z?

Sarah: Jay Z. That Kelis shit really pissed me off, in regards to Nas.
