About Viola Bennett

I am a copywriter, playwright and storyteller who received her B.A. in Theater from American University.  I love the ways words can move, motivate, and inspire people. I believe that brands have personalities and people buy brands they can relate to. I know how to tell a brand’s story and build its audience and sales. As a playwright, I’ve been a member of the Black Playwright’s Initiative at Chicago’s Black Ensemble Theater since 2015. Several of my short plays have been performed at Black Ensemble Theater’s festival including Stealing Home, The Laundromat, and Par for the Course. When not writing, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my husband and our two daughters.
