PMA Alum Gloria Majule ‘17 has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 National Playwrights Conference, for her play My Father Was Shot in the Back of the Head.
“All his life, her father had wanted a son. Therefore even before she was born, she was already a disappointment. My Father was Shot in the Back of the Head uses conventions of African Storytelling Theater to tell an unconventional coming of age story.” Learn more about Gloria’s work at https://newplayexchange.org/users/80624/gloria-majule.
