Description

Step into a world where words resonate with depth and color in BARITONE HUE, performed by poet Leroy D. Bean, and directed by Dana Graham. Experience these powerful verses as Bean revisits his journey to Paris, where he spent a month following in the footsteps of James Baldwin. This captivating performance delves into themes of faith, self-worth, and the beauty of Black culture, as he reconnects with his spiritual beliefs and artistic passion. Bean masterfully blends poignant reflections with lighthearted humor, ensuring an engaging and dynamic experience. With a voice as rich and resonant as a baritone hue, this intimate evening offers a profound exploration through a portal to another realm. Join us for a unique journey where a spoken-word poet truly embodies the art of vivid storytelling to connect with the soul’s deepest shades.
