Looking for Leroy at Los Angeles Theatre Center

Staged reading of a new play by Larry Muhammad.The narrative focuses on the celebrated poet-playwright-activist Amiri Baraka,(1934-2014), known earlier in his career as LeRoi Jones. He is at work on his final play, The Most Dangerous Man in America (about W.E.B. DuBois) as he is joined by Taj, his newly hired young intern. The two explore and speak to what is Black Theatre as defined by whom, and the fundamental nature of aesthetics. Their discussion soon provokes an infuriating debate.Ben Guillory, the Producing Artistic Director of The Robey Theatre Company, directs the reading and portrays Baraka. Actor Benjamin White plays Taj.Presented by The Robey Theatre Company in association with Los Angeles Theatre Center.
