WRITER/DIRECTOR
Alonzo Lamart Williams was born in Hollandale, Ms on June 6, 1980, He is the son of Larry Strahan, and Sandra Willis. Williams has been writing, and directing musical stage plays for 10 years. Williams says, my inspiration came from my speech teacher Elliott Street. Mr. Street was also and actor and he implemented Drama. Williams has written 16 play productions, and some titles are: God Why Me, In the Midst of the Storm, How Can I say Thank You, The Awakening, Inspiration through Black History, The True Meaning of Christmas, When you Pray, Be Careful What you Pray For, I Told the Storm, and many more.
In 1999, Williams graduated from Meridian High School, and also became a member of Young People of Praise recording choir, under the leadership of William Myles. Williams later started a community Choir called The Anionted Voices. In 2000, Alonzo Williams worked with Lionel Land and together we begin writing a skit for the Boys and Girls Club choir. Williams continued writing and directing The Anionted Voices until May 2002. After graduating from Meridian Community College, and majoring in Music Education, he went on to attend The University of Southern Mississippi where he majored in Business, with a minor in Voice.
Alonzo Williams is the founder of a non-profit organization entitled Southern Inspiration of Praise Performing Arts, (formally A.V.) which is a community based organization that specializes in Drama Ministry.

Sip Performing Arts, Inc travels in Hattiesburg and surrounding areas in and around Mississippi with "Awesome" Play productions. Last year, the organization begin traveling out of state. Williams is also a full-time musician and currently working on implementing original songs for the upcoming play productions, and networking with groups, churches, and indivduals. Alonzo says, "before becoming a writer of music, and play productions, I was a choir member and part-time volunteer at the Boys and Girls club in Meridian, ms. Williams begin writing skits in Meridian. In 2008, Sip sponsored a choir workshop featuring Antionette Cotten and Ramone Shelby, and after the workshop, he started Sip Gospel Choir.

Williams is currently working on a new play production entitled " The Secret Life of a Preacher's Wife" all of his productions are designed to inspire others through the Word of God, and to Glorify our Lord Jesus! Alonzo says, my purpose is to minister through Drama Ministry, and together we can make a difference.
