| World premiere musical theater piece adapted by Davóne Tines and Michael Schachter from 1931 Langston Hughes poem, “The Black Clown.” Dramatic monologue with orchestral accompaniment is part elegy, part declaration of independence, and part celebration which resonates in 2018 America. Tines gives a full-throated performance as the titular character with support from a twelve-person ensemble of singularly-talented singers and dancers. Performances through September 23 at Loeb Drama Center, Cambridge, MA |
