By Kelvin Roston Directed by Derrick Sanders WHEN: Mar 17–Apr 16 A MUSICAL HOMAGE TO A SOULFUL LEGEND This powerful one-man show is based on the real life of '70s soul singer and composer Donny Hathaway, the creator of “The Closer I Get to You” and “Where is the Love?” and perhaps best known for his duets with Roberta Flack. Twisted Melodies is an immersive and crushing play about the brilliant musician’s compelling inner struggle. Torn between the muses that inspire him and the mental illness that torments him, Hathaway evaluates the choices in his life in a gripping performance by Kelvin Roston. | | | | “ROSTON IS TOTALLY CONVINCING AS HATHAWAY.” –Chicago Tribune | | |  |
| By Nambi E. Kelley Directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah Based on the book by Toni Morrison WHEN: May 19–Jun 25 A WORLD PREMIERE In Morrison’s exhilarating novel, Joe and Violet move from the Virginia countryside to Harlem at the turn of the century, young and in love. Twenty years later, Joe’s interactions with a young woman set off a series of violent events and unforgivable acts. Peeling back layers and alternating perspectives expose ultimately sympathetic characters, who—like the growing New York neighborhood and the winding woods of their youth—reveal their own rhythms. |
