When he stood, he stood alone! Pryor Truth is the first ever one man show to magnify the genius of the man known as the greatest stand-up comedian of all time, "Richard Pryor". Pryor Truth gives a raw moment with one of the artist's most beloved characters and the only one he let live on stage for extended periods of time: Mudbone. As our guide, Mudbone is charged with brining the legend to light. as The Man behind the mystique, Mudbone says it best: who he was when, who he dared to be, the self-destructive battle he fought, and the realities of the cost of greatness.

Pryor Truth, directed by Marcus Naylor, Executive Produced by Victoria Dicce, was developed and produced by THE COLLECTIVE-NY--a theatre and film Production Company based out of New York; unites professional artists who share a responsibility to create work in the contemporary American Theatre that is emotionally truthful, socially relevant, and defiantly accessible. Modeled after Group Theatre, The Collective was founded in 2007 by graduates of the William Esper Studio, and as a not-for-profit company, develops and produces original work for stage and screen. Productions include Frank McGuinnesses's Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, the television series Inside Amy Schumer and 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Collective:10.
