| Writer. ____________________________________________ "Without a doubt, you are a great, fantastic, and phenomenal writer, especially when you write from pain..." -Althea Chambers Peppur wrote her first play at age 12 after a visit to a local Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. Inspired by a crown of flowers for her and wooden swords for her two brothers purchased at the Faire, she penned a play about a damsel who needed to be rescued. The production debuted in the family backyard under an apple tree at twilight to an audience of two (her parents) and starred the three Chambers children. Still on an author's journey, Peppur has been published in "Split: Stories From A Generation Raised on Divorce" edited by Ava Chin, whom she met while living in New York. Split is available for purchase on Amazon.com. "Making Lemonade: Bittersweet Tales From An Actress Being Squeezed In LA" is Peppur's candid memoir and is currently under rewrite after receiving helpful coverage from agents at William Morris (when it was still William Morris!). Peppur is in talks to produce Making Lemonade as a webisode. Laugh at an excerpt here. "House Rules" is Peppur's first full-length play and appeared on stage in October 2009 under production by The S&P Experience. Proceeds from her book, 15 Monologues to SLAM! will go towards further production of House Rules. The book can be purchased on www.spexperience.biz. In 2005, Peppur created the sultry, sassy, sophisticated "Harlem's Night: A Cabaret Story" which is a cabaret/dinner theater experience that includes singing, dancing and acting. Harlem's Night tells the tale of a lonely woman looking for love in all the wrong places...Peppur says with a wink, "Yes, it was autobiographical!" Harlem's Night also includes original songs penned by Peppur. As a spin off from the cabaret, she's working on the novel and feature film based on the main character "Harlem" and the Brown Betties. She has created "The Brown Betties Guide: How To Look for Love In All The Wrong Places" and is also the editor of "The Brown Betties Gazette" which is an online magazine. Chambers says, "I read Seventeen Magazine growing up...I loved it, but there was never anyone that looked like me on the pages." Chambers sites this as her reason to create the Brown Betties Gazette as well as the Brown Betties and their "Be Your Own Brown Bettie" Burlesque and empowerment workshops. www.brownbetties.com |
