Assistant Professor of Acting and Directing Lisa Marie Rollins (above, far right) received a $7,500 grant from the Zellerbach Family Foundation to support the continued development of her new play, “Love Is Another Country.” The play follows three women as they navigate living in a country — the United States — that claims to love Black women. Rollins conducted a four-day workshop in December to further the development of the script and explore the ancestral aspects of the play. The workshop was held in collaboration with the Colorado College Fine Arts Center, and was supported by the Zellerbach grant, as well as by CC’s Crown Faculty Center through its Manuscript Workshop initiative.
