My Comments: "It was a lot more contemporary than I expected w/ “colored” in the title. It covers a wide range of views and perspectives unique to the black male experience, but there where a bunch of excellent moments where everybody could relate as they related to all men and humanity. Nevertheless, there were a bunch of just average moments too. Overall the production was very memorable. There was one moment I almost cried... Definitely worth seeing… "
A New American Play for a New Broadway
"As the sun rises on a single day in the pulsing heart of Brooklyn, seven Black men are about to discover the extraordinary – together. By Keenan Scott II, one of today’s boldest new voices, Thoughts of a Colored Man blends spoken word, slam poetry, rhythm, and humor into a daringly universal new play. Welcome to the vibrant inner life of being Black, proud, and thriving in the 21st century."
" This richly theatrical mosaic shines brilliant light onto these men, a tight-knit brotherhood, revealing their most triumphant selves. Their vibrant and vulnerable experiences and feelings reverberate far beyond the barbershops and basketball courts of their community. They reveal the deeply human hopes, joys, sorrows, fears, and dreams of all men, all people."
