12. Life in theater

In 1993, Ford directed and produced the play “South of Where We Live,” which is about six African-American professionals who return to the communities where they were raised and are confronted by social issues. The play was performed at the Los Angeles Ebony Showcase Theatre. That same year, he directed the play “Jonin’,” a comedy about fraternity life at a historically Black college in Washington, D.C.
