Thoughts of a COLORED MAN on a day when the sun set too early is written and conceived by Keenan Scott II and follows the stories of eight young men as they try to find their identity in a world that told them they should conform. With the use of poetry and prose style monologues using vernacular that was birthed from the Hip-Hop generation this play provides a raw view of heart-wrenching subjects that plague us all. The cast includes Parish Bradley, Edwin Brown, Tony Jarrett, Tyquan Stevens, Will Strong, Kasaun Wilson, Anthony Walker, and Khiry Walker.
