Description
The African American Playwrights Exchange and gallery F @ Scarritt-Bennett Center will host a dramatic reading of the new play by Dr. Frank Dobson, executive director of Vanderbilt’s Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center, Young Messiahs Fly on Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m.
This timely new play is a story about the rise and fall of a gifted young black athlete – another young black millionaire in the making – who faces tragedy from the aftermath of a chance encounter with the law. This thought-provoking play asks its audience to consider the realities of young black celebrity, money, fame, family ties and tragedy, in a story straight out of today’s headlines.
The play will be read by Rashad Rayford, Molly Breen, Roman Bryant, Scott Russell, and other actors, and will be directed by Shawn Whitsell, artistic director of The Destiny Theatre Experience. The artwork of Channing Bailey, a resident artist at gallery F and currently a senior at TSU, will be featured.
