I met Cory Wright downtown Chicago a few weeks back. He's a local playwright, looking to get his career going. Last weekend, he kicked off his big debut at the Black Ensemble Theater. The show is called "The Golden Boy," and it's part of the Black Ensemble's first Late Night Play Series. You can see it tomorrow at 11 p.m.

Cory grew up in Country Club Hills, graduated from DePaul University, and also acts and dances. He got involved with the Black Ensemble through their Black Playwrights Initiative, which happens on the first Monday of every month. I've actually seen a few shows at the Black Ensemble Theatre (4520 North Beacon), and if you haven't been, it's always very impressive. You can check out everything they're up to here. And don't forget to go out and see Cory's work this weekend, the show only runs until August 9th!
