As part of her thesis requirement for the UCLA Playwriting MFA program, Daysha would like to invite you to attend a zoom reading of her thesis play and newest work, The Write Choice.

The Write Choice follows an insecure, young black writer who suffers a tragic loss in the family that sends her back to her childhood home. It is here that she discovers a photograph that inspires her to write her first play with the purpose of submitting it to a prominent new works program up in Portland. To everyone's shock, she wins. But when she shows up for the staged reading and discovers that her cast was not what she had originally envisioned for the piece, she is pushed into finding her own voice to ask for what she really wants amidst navigating the complicated racial power structures of the theater.

This play was workshopped for 4 weeks in collaboration with the award-winning New York Theatre Workshop as part of UCLA’s Department of Theatre New Play Festival.
