Why I wrote my play
Easy Street Ain't So Easy
Why I wrote this play
I understand that has been some misunderstanding about how and why I wrote my play so , like always I will write my feelings down.
Some people are wondering why I wrote my play and the stuff that´s in my play.
Well ,I know people do not want to believe that bad things happen in every neighborhood . I know parents say not my child .When they find out that there love one has done something bad but the truth is people are homeless and people see other hurt each other and they just turn there head. They act as if nothing is wrong . I do stay in a very nice home my friends are not your everyday preteens. We have cell phones and we wear the best clothes and want for nothing that is what people would think at first sight .
When my BFF came to my house hurting and she explained to me that she could not sleep because she was afraid. I knew I had to do something. You might say what can a ten year old black girl do .
WELL, I looked at all the strong black women I admire My mom Who works with kids everyday, My mentor Ms.Zakkee who volunteers with kids , Momma Debbie from YEA,Dr. Moss Boldin who take the time to listen to me when I e-mail or call. My aunts that taught me you are your brothers keeper so do community service when ever you can, Minister Meliza who smiles and makes you feel like you can do anything and Ms.Renee who has your back in a pinch and will tell me the truth even if I don´t want it .Judge Ruby Thomas that drives a slamin ride, and finally Ms.Kilpatrick who I watched work with kids and go after her dreams who wanted to help children and adults take a look in the mirror and listen to each other. All these women have made me who I am to day So when people ask me why did you right this play I would say it was my destiny to not sit with the crowd but step out and be heard I come from greatness and I will not wait to be great.

YOUNG PLAY WRITER
Mary Pat Hector-Nesbit
Playwright, Actress
To say that she is effervescent, articulate, innovative, outgoing and determined may be an understatement because Mary Pat is all these attributes and so much more. Nearly eleven years old, Mary Pat is reaching for the stars and destined to land in the midst. And, if the next generation of leaders is to be likened to those with the tenacity of Mary Pat, then it is inevitable that the world will be in good hands.
Mary Pat's mom, Kathleen Wright, knew her child was favorably special when her daughter was only two years old. She remembers, "When the four-year old became stage fright during the day care's graduation ceremony, to everyone's amazement, Mary Pat just went to the microphone and recited the speech for her." It was at that time that Ms. Wright knew that there was a gift inside that undoubtedly had to be nurtured. Soon after the graduation performance, Wright enrolled Mary Pat at The Company acting studio, where she began tutelage in acting. This strategic move only helped to enhance Mary Pat's already existing ability of expressing herself quite well.
By the time Mary Pat was four years old, she began to write out her feelings, as well as write out songs. After enrolling at James Jackson Elementary School, she continued to hone her communications skills by becoming a news anchor. She was also actively involved as a hall monitor. Mary Pat's skills were further nurtured when she became (and continues to be) a member of the Atlanta Youth Ensemble. Her acting credits include, "Mama, I am Your Child," "Worth the Wait," and "Deliver us in This House."
Mary Pat can also be credited with the title of playwright, with her first stage play being entitled, "The Magic Rock." She excitedly awaits the production of her newest stage play, which will also be adapted into a feature film entitled; "Easy Street Ain't So Easy." Slated for completion by November of 2007, the play/feature film explores the topic of child cruelty. The play/feature film will be produced by noted filmmaker Bobby Peoples, and it will be directed by Renee Warren. According to Mary Pat, the production of this work enables her to "be a voice" for other children. The mature Mary Pat comments, "Many people don't realize that children have problems, too. Adults are not the only ones. I have seen so many children go through challenges without having anyone to be there for them and help make their voices be heard. I want to use my abilities to help them. I will be their voice."
Upon entering and completing high school and undergraduate studies, Mary Pat desires to obtain her Master's degree in Theater from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and ultimately establish her own performing arts school. In her spare time, she enjoys shopping, community service, dancing, singing and making other laugh.
