The New Conservatory Center will present the World Premiere of WAITING FOR GIOVANNI at the Decker Theatre from August 19, 2011 - September 18, 201.
Based on a split second of indecision in the mind of world-renowned author James Baldwin, Waiting for Giovanni explores the emotional and professional dilemmas that loom over a fierce young Harlem man who insists on being true to love, to politics, and to the ghosts that live in his head.
Presented in Association with AfroSolo Arts Festival and Supported in part by the Kenneth Rainin Foundation.
