Kahlil Ashanti of BASIC TRAINING: Laughter in Service
Most soldiers go off to war to defend their country with guns... Kahlil Ashanti defended with his humor in BASIC TRAINING, now playing at the Barrow Street Theatre. As a member of the elite US Air Force troupe Tops In Blue, Kahlil served his country in Iraq by entertaining the troops on the front-line.
