Will Power: The Man, The Myth, The Theater Legend
Let’s talk about the powerhouse that is Will Power, an internationally acclaimed playwright, performer, lyricist, and educator. This man’s work has graced stages from Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House, and everywhere in between, including venues in Asia, Africa, Europe, and all across North America. You name it, he’s been there!
But here’s the thing: Will isn’t just about the prestige of the global stage. He’s a Professor of Theater at Occidental College right here in Los Angeles, shaping the next generation of storytellers.
Now, about his play…
In September 2024, Will’s incredible play MEMNON took center stage at the Getty Villa in a co-production with the Classical Theatre of Harlem. Think epic ancient warrior tales infused with that unmistakable Will Power magic. You can check out more about this groundbreaking production here:

What is The Frogs?
Alex & Tobie travel to different theater communities in LA to explore what’s happening on the ground. They have conversations with some of the world’s most renowned theater practitioners. Discussing broad topics: theater, film, TV, music, current events—all viewed through the lens of theater and culture. The Frogs will get people excited about the theater by first conquering our city (LA), then the country, and eventually the world—by engaging the community in meaningful conversations about the arts. The Frogs are unapologetically Black, theater nerd culture, mixed with real-world energy. It’s intellectual and ratchet, classy but down-to-earth.
