TIA & MICK

WRITTEN BY : AMER - MARIE WOODS AND ARRON WATSON

Amer-Marie Woods recently expanded her creative focus to scriptwriting, crafting a powerful five-minute scene titled Tia & Mick, which debuted on stage in October 2022 at the Academy Theatre in Hapeville, GA. The journey to this final scene was anything but straightforward; it began as an entirely different piece and went through nine unique drafts before it evolved into the impactful story it is today.

Through Tia & Mick, Amer sought to honor Black mothers, fathers, and family units, shedding light on the difficult decisions that shape their lives. For Amer, the heart of storytelling lies in making an impact over gaining influence—a principle deeply woven into every word of this poignant piece.
