Tru
Try offers a look into the psyche of Truman Capote (Breakfast at Tiffany's, In Cold Blood), one of America's most controversial and colorful authers as he reels form social shunning by his elite Manhattan friends following Esquire Magazine's publication of a gossip-filled chaper from his never-to-be finished work Answered Prayers. Set in the writer's New York City apartment the week before Christmas 1975, the lonely capote muses about his life and career in the one-man tour de force adapted from the author's own words and works.
The Threshing Floor
The World Premiere of The Threshing Floor honors the life, ideas, and everlasting imprint of quintessential American writer James Baldwin (Go Tell It on the Mountain, Giovanni's Room). From 1920s Harlem to the bohemian utopia of Paris in the 40s, to the civil unrest of the 50s and 60s, numerous figures from Baldwin's life emerge in this one-man play featuring luminaries like Josephine Baker and Eldridge Cleaver, the author's own lover, parents, and fellow civil rights activists.
