As a child in Martindale-Brightwood, Crystal V. Rhodes handwrote 300 blue-lined notebook pages about a girl named Rosa.
While writing wasn't Rhodes' first career, it was always her passion. As a child in Martindale-Brightwood, she handwrote 300 blue-lined notebook pages about a girl named Rosa. With an audience of friends clamoring to hear new installments Rhodes recited on her porch, she continually created new adventures for her heroine.
During a playwriting class at Black Repertory Group Theatre in Berkeley, Rhodes' teacher told her to stick to the familiar. That advice led her to write"Stoops," based on her own longtime Indianapolis friendships. The play won several Black Theatre Alliance Awards.
