The 38th Annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade went virtual this year as a live-streamed telethon event, dubbed the 2020 Tail-a-Thon. Playwrights Lynn Nottage and Jeremy O. Harris were crowned this year's Queen Mermaid and King Neptune. A proud Brooklyn native, Lynn was honored to participate.
UNFINISHED:
DEEP SOUTH
Unfinished: Deep South is a historical true-crime podcast that races to resolve the unfinished business of a small Arkansas town by starting with one question: who lynched Isadore Banks? Sixty-five years after the murder of a wealthy African-American farmer and WWI veteran who found a way to prosper in the Jim Crow South, this series attempts to restore his legacy and solve the crime before the story goes cold forever. My company Market Road Films is proud to be part of the producing team. Created and reported by Taylor Hom and Neil Shea.

Make Art During the COVID Crisis
Lynn had the honor of being in conversation with Sharon Salzberg, who is a central figure in the field of meditation, a world-renowned teacher and a New York Times bestselling author.
