"Common Ground Theatre Announces next show for our Theatre-In-Residence at La Jolla Playhouse, SENSE OF LOVE Written by Sheryl Mallory-Johnson, Directed by Yolanda Franklin.

Local Author/Playwright helps launch Common Ground's New Black Love Play Series. "

Synopsis:

Patricia (Pat) Colby is newly divorced and determined to succeed without a man. Steve Thurman, a recently widowed college professor, is content with being a single dad and living a solitary life. Haunted and numbed by their painful past, both Steve and Pat could ruin their second chance at love. Entertaining, thought provoking, and poignant, Sense of Love delivers a timeless contemporary love story not to be missed.

I discovered my love for literature at an early age. My love for humanity soon followed. Fusing my two loves, I write complex, heartfelt stories that embody the human experience.  

Before becoming a novelist,  I worked in the field of Human Services for many years, advocating for children, youth, and families.

I continue to teach in the field of humanities and work as a Psychotherapist. 

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Texas Southern University, and a Masters's Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University.  

To commemorate the 400 years since the first African captives arrived in the Americas, I founded the 1619 National Celebration of Black Women, March 2019. Our purpose-driven mission is recognizing the extraordinary contributions women of African descent have made in building America.
