About the Playwright and Director:
Christina Cottles was born in Southern Louisiana, and raised in Los Angeles, where she earned a degree from U.S.C. in English and Broadcasting. She worked briefly in broadcasting news as a reporter in Mississippi and Louisiana, then returned to California where she decided to pursue her first love—dramatic writing. Christina was chosen to participate in the Warner Brothers Writers Comedy Workshop and the Guy Hanks/Marvin Miller Screenwriting Workshop sponsored by Bill Cosby. She’s been a writer’s trainee for the Writer’s Guild of America West, and has been a finalist twice in the Disney Writers Fellowship Program. She’s won writing awards from the Organization of Black Screenwriters and The Writer’s Workshop’s Ethnic Minority Screenwriting Contest. Christina says her inspiration for writing A Sunday Morning Kind of Gal emanates from her desire to pursue her passions in life and from advice her mother often gives her, "Stop talking and write it down!"
The Cast includes Lynne Conner (Bones of Lesser Men), Darius Dudley (Section 8), Amentha Dymally (Reunion at Bartersville) , Jwaundace Candece, Leigh Jonte, Christian Blaine, Jacqui Colston, and Mark Anthony Williams (Black Angels Over Tuskegee).
