Tarell Alvin McCraney talks about playwrighting, screenwriting and building community intentionally

Tarell Alvin McCraney graduated from the New World School of the Arts in Miami, Fla., and auditioned for the Goodman School at DePaul University. He graduated from DePaul University with a BFA in Acting. While in that program, he received training in play, getting onstage and being in the world that the actors were imaging at the time. He also learned the craft of making sure he was playing an action, delivering a line, projecting a voice.
