He has written over 25 plays that have been produced throughout the country. His play, "The Cause, My Soul, the Prequel to Othello" was presented at the Odyssey Theatre and at the North Carolina Black Theatre Festival, winning the NAACP Theatre Awards’ Best Play of 2017. This year, Lange has been involved with several online projects. He has produced online readings of his theatrical works and he remotely directed an episode for the upcoming series "The Myth of Control" (LDNO Productions).

The series will be released later this year.    In this webinar, Lange will discuss the challenge of connecting creatively from a distance and will talk about the changing nature of show business.
