Hello Peeps,
BLACK IN THE FIRST DEGREE!!! Makes it’s Off-Broadway Debut on June 19th – 8pm at theatre Row Theatres, 410 West 42nd Street, NYC 10036. Tickets can be purchased by going to www.DUAFNYC.com. June 19th is also JUNETEENTH!!!! And I can think of no other time than for Black people to come out and support a Black Playwright’s work especially when it is about a issue that effects the whole Black community. BLACK IN THE FIRST DEGREE, is a raw and provocative look at why White Police Officers end of killing Black men who are unarmed and not a real threat to them. Please come out and support Reginald and the actors and director who bring his brilliant play to life!!!!
Great news!!! My play DEE’S DILEMNA which was produced by the FADE TO OBLACK FESTIVAL in Houston, Texas in June 2024 is now being selected as the BEST OF THE BEST OF SHORTS OF LAST YEAR. With that They will be producing DEE’S DILEMNA again, this June 2025!!!!
THE MAD WOMAN OF CHAILLOT is loose at the West Village Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, 214 West Houston, Manhattan, New York. Me and a great group of actors presented the FIRST ACT of the play last Thursday, March 27 and the residents loved it!!! So we are going back to present ACT TWO. It is a wild play and a wild time and you are invited to attend if you want. It will start at 2pm. Thursday, April 3rd.
BLACK IN THE FIRST DEGREE……is going to make it’s world premiere off-Broadway on June 19th (Juneteenth) at 8pm. It is being produced by the DOWNTOWN URBAN ARTS FESTIVAL at the theatre 410 West 42nd street, Manhattan. The show starts 8pm sharp!!! Please put this in your schedule and bring as many friends as you can. This play is a provocative and visceral look at the dynamic between White Police Officers and Young Black Males. Seen in the “wrong” neighborhood at the “wrong time” causes a Young Black male to go from a citizen to a perp; by an over eager White Cop. They square off and it ends in tragedy!!!
Two exciting things happening in JUNE!!! My play BLACK IN THE FIRST DEGREE will be produced by the Downtown Urban Arts Festival on the 19th of June 2025. Also, My play DEE’s DILEMNA will be produced for the second time as part of FADE TO BLACK FESTIVAL in Houston Texas this June 2025. It was named Best Short from 2024 and will receive an ENCORE Production this year!!! I have joined both VILLAGE PLAYWRIGHTS and have been showcasing my work there and acting as well. I have joined TIGER’S HEART PLAYERS and have been showcasing my work there and acting as well. After 30 years I have chosen to re-start my acting career!!! This is my YEAR OF YES!!!! God came to me and told me that he was going to show up and show out in my life this year!!!! All I have to do is say YES!!! Lastly, I am up for FOUR Fellowships or Residencies; including one at JUILLIARD!!!! I should here more in June 2025. As always I ask that you pray for me as I will be praying for you!!!!
