In Between the Pages with JLJ: Actor/Playwright Stanley W Mathis

Host James Lott Jr has an important conversation with Stanley W Mathis! The play "Preachin’ to the Choir/An Inconvenient Truth" is described as a multimedia memorial ‘choreopoem’, following a young BLM documentary Student Activist, Justice Jamal Obatala, as he attends the Annual AfroPunk Festival in New York City. This year’s celebration takes him on a unique path when he befriends a homeless woman known throughout the community as Neighborhood Nana. The entire experience is documented on his cell phone, but is he the documentor or the documented? Join the festivities and witness SANKOFA!Mathis makes his debut as a Playwright with "Preachin/ to the Choir/An Inconvenient Truth". “This is my first public submission as a Playwright. The Ancestors spoke to me and would not let me rest until it was on paper. I had no choice, but to pick up the sword and write, moving me once again to activism, I pray it will do the same for others!”Another Broadway Veteran, Tina Fabrique (add Noise/Funk, Ragtime) will portray the role of Neighborhood Nana, while Richard Crandle will portray the role of Justice Jamal Obata (Kinky Boots and Hairspray Nat. Tour), along with Kimberly JaJuan as Aneeda Ancestry (Ragtime, Marie Christine), Matthew Morgan (Lion King, Hairspray).With a 21st Century twist, "Preachin’ to the Choir/An Inconvenient Truth", a new play written by Veteran Broadway Actor and Playwright, Stanley Wayne Mathis is presenting a Virtual Reading of his new play, on Monday, September 13, 2021 at 6:30pm/EST: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/preachin-to-the-choiran-inconvenient-truth-tickets-165071359881.
