Synopsis:


In March 2020, Azure D. Osbourne-Lee saw their Off-Broadway debut as a playwright come to a soul-shattering end because of the pandemic. Parity Productions, the company that commissioned their play MIRRORS had to shut down the production like the rest of the industry abandoning the set, costumes, and everything else at the East 4th Street theater that housed the play.

Because of the passion and tenacity of Parity Productions, the playwright, the cast, and an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, MIRRORS has now become a film with the ability to reach more people than it ever could as a play.
Join us when we'll speak with playwright Azure D. Osbourne-Lee, musical director and cast member Ashley Noel Jones and filmmaker Paul A. Notice II about the incredible journey of MIRRORS from the stage to screen.
