Welcome!
My job as a playwright is to entertain, educate and emotionally challenge the audience. Each work is a call to action, whether it be to storm the barricades, seek acceptance, or merely to love.

“McDaniel’s remarkable life, career and controversy are examined in the fascinating new play by Joan Ross Sorkin.”
“The script is impressively worthy of its material, and manages to avoid the traps that so often plague one-person shows. Even more impressive is how the play manages to be fresh, vibrant and vital…It might easily have fallen from drama to lecture, but Sorkin’s script is rife with conflict, and her McDaniel, as portrayed by star-in-the-making Capathia Jenkins is intense and passionate.”
