This is the official website of Donald Sherman Hall
The primary goal of DS Hall is to write multi-racial melodramas which celebrate our similarities and dramatize our differences. He believes that audiences will be thrilled by this new 21st century type of theater. If he is proven correct, then he would strongly advocate for the elevation of this new type of American Theatrical Content so to be Streamed over the Internet to a diverse and global audience. If that audience is willing to pay to see these melodramas, then they have the potential to generate an infinite amount of revenue for its actors, directors, playwrights and producers. DS Hall is very much in favor of developing this new kind of “Netflix for the Theater” for the masses.
