What do you call a man who writes, directs, and produces a string of award-winning plays, has one of the highest grossing records in touring musicals and comedies, and who strategically partners with the most celebrated African-American talent to bring his stories to stage and film? You could call him dedicated, gifted and talented, or even just really, really smart. But mostly you would call him David E. Talbert.
Since exploding onto the gospel theater circuit 20 years ago, with his self-described “soul” plays, Talbert has delighted, challenged, and encouraged his audiences to examine their world from his unique and at times irreverent perspective. With his latest project, “Love in the Nick of Tyme,” recently released to DVD, this pioneer in African-American media took a few moments to share with me his take on true success, how he made the leap to radio to writing, and his advice for aspiring scribes.
