The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre presents its "Bringing the Art to the Audience" (BATA) staged reading series at MoAD in a collaboration that connects theater and the visual arts.
Saturday's staged reading of "I Was Black Once" by Willie Jones III is an investigation of Black male identity in the 21st century which explores how archetypes are assigned at first glance and what the effects might be on the life of an individual.
The title comes from a quote by the boxing champion Larry Holmes: “It’s hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.” - Larry Holmes
A talkback with the cast and director follows the reading.
