Feel free to read about a couple of theater productions I've been a part of
The amen corner - Brother boxer
"The Amen Corner" by James Baldwin, is a narrative that centers around Sister Margaret, the pastor of a Harlem church, and her husband, Luke. Brother Boxer, a staunch and devout deacon in the church, embodies strong religious convictions that significantly impact the unfolding drama. As the characters grapple with tradition, faith, and personal beliefs in the African American community of the 1950s, Brother Boxer's presence adds depth to the exploration of these complex themes within the context of the church and its close-knit congregation.
FIRES IN THE MIRROR - carmel cato
"Fires in the Mirror" by Anna Deavere Smith is a documentary-style play that explores the 1991 Crown Heights riot in Brooklyn, New York. Carmel Cato's perspective in "Fires in the Mirror" offers a poignant and personal account of the pain and grief experienced by his family. His portrayal sheds light on the emotional aftermath following his son's murder, the community's response, and the broader implications of racial and cultural tensions in Crown Heights. In the play Carmel Cato serves as a crucial voice in the exploration of the complexities surrounding the tragic event and its impact on the social fabric of the neighborhood.
