2020 #28-UP CLOSE & PERSONAL W / AUTHOR Antoine Stroman



Poet, Writer Actor, Educator Production Assistant Born and raised in Philly, Antoine considers himself a native son. A writer poet and educator,Stroman began performing in church plays early in life. This passion for performance was later rediscovered 2008 when he began writing/performing spoken word and poetry. He made his major stage debut in 2013 in"The Chosen Voice'. In 2015 Antione joined Run Boy Run Productions where he is part of the artistic director team as well as the managing director of productions. There landmark play Underground Episodes was the winner at the Ithaca Fringe Festival 2016 where it was the unprecedented recipient of both the Dixon and the Audience Choice Awards. After that it became more important for Run Boy Run Productions to show how as an organization it would assist in the writing and development of young writers and directors such as Kamillah Abdul (Mississippi Smiles),Andrew Chupa (Of Maintenance and Men), Vince Brown, Dionne McCray, Roshelle Lennon and Nichole Spain (Group Therapy) and  produce work for first time director Sagacious Pen (Nobody’s Perfect) as well as the Philadelphia premier of the Hollywood Fringe winner of 2016 (Complexion Woman) written by Tasha Henderson and Ebony Gilbert

I write because I have a huge imagination and it’s the only way for me to get it out. I also wrote because I grew up feeling invisible and writing gave me a voice.  I was inspired by personal experience and watching kids who grew up like I did.As a writer, poet, songwriter, teacher and director, Seeing Things in Black and White is my most daring work. Written over the course of 9 years, I’ve drawn inspiration from various points in my life. Throughout this 9 year period, I became an educator, a writer for theatre, and a director, which all served as an influencing factor in the composition of this story.
