Her solo play Oddlie, premiered at the [email protected] in 2009 and went on to receive rave reviews at the Orlando Fringe Festival in 2010 and at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Aleshea’s full length play, Rip.Tied., premiered in 2012 at freeFall Theatre Company. According to her website, Aleshea is currently developing new works at CalArts and seeking new ways to challenge herself and her community through conscious creation.
Among other milestone accomplishments, The Relentless Award, which is awarded annually to a playwright in honor of Philip Seymour Hoffman, was presented to Aleshea in 2016.
We're proud to have an opportunity to offer a launching pad for so many talented individuals such as Aleshea Harris!
