Activity Description
Join us at the award-winning Billie Holiday Theatre as we begin 2008 with our latest production: LOSING THE LIGHT (An American Male Perspective), written by John Shevin Foster and directed by Jackie Alexander.
LOSING THE LIGHT is insightful, funny, and provocative, and is perfect for audiences of teenagers and up. Watch as heartbreak brings four friends together in an isolated cabin where they all learn the value of the truth as their emotions run rampant and they open up to each other in ways they never have before. Will the truth threaten their friendships or will it help them to emerge as stronger black men?
This compelling comedy/drama will take place in the elegant 200-seat Billie Holiday Theatre, named after the legendary singer Billie Holiday, which has served as the training ground for notable aspiring theater professionals.
Described as a theatre with a "soul and a mission," this intimate performance space has produced special programs that address social issues of concern and interest to the African-American and Caribbean-American communities.
"A gem in the Brooklyn community."
