February of 1994. Crocheron's degree in mass media and communications from Cleveland State University made her an invaluable asset to Karamu in putting together this show. Last summer, Cleveland Public Theatre contacted Crocheron about directing their summer job training program. Teaching 16 to 21-year-olds how to write and produce a play proved to be a challenge, but the kids surprised her, themselves, and the people who eventually came to see the production. The program consisted of 31 kids; 30 of whom were African-American, and one Latino. Because of the success of the summer job-training program, the theatre brought Karen on as a playwriting development coordinator with an emphasis in African American plays.

As part of her new position, Crocheron began helping festival director Terry Cranendonk read scripts and begin formulating the line-up for the 1995 Festival of New Plays. "CPT is a unique theatre," Crocheron said, "and you have to have a special bent; an ax to grind that's ground well in order to be considered for the new play festival."

Karamu, and presented it to Cranendonk, who immediately liked it.

She found Fag-Bashing in America by gay playwright John Beck when reading through a stack of scripts that she took home one evening. "I'm always trying to find something with an intriguing title," she said, "and when I came across Fag-Bashing I said, 'Oh, wait a minute, I've got to read this one, what could it possibly say? It told a wonderful, sweet story set against a very interesting backdrop and I decided I was going to fight for this particular story to be in the festival.'

A hole developed in the festival schedule when another playwright decided not to come to it, making room for Fag-Bashing The Cleveland playwright that cancelled was African-American, and as a result of the theatre's commitment to diversity, they decided, with the coaxing of Crocheron, that a play by a gay playwright would fill that slot nicely.

In addition to her work as public relations director for the Festival of New Plays, and directing Fag-Bashing, her first play, The Fire This Time, is being presented as a part of the festival. Interestingly, the play that she wrote and the play that she fought to include are being presented together on Saturday and Sunday, January 21 and 22.
