About "Thoughts of a Colored Man"
Dive into the vibrant world of "Thoughts of a Colored Man," where the daily lives of seven Black men intertwine against the backdrop of a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn. Through the unique storytelling style of SLAM Narrative, witness their hopes, fears, and joys come alive as they navigate the complexities of modern identity—from spirited barbershop debates to heartfelt reflections on ambition, friendship, and fatherhood. This powerful and uplifting play celebrates the rich tapestry of Black manhood in a society that often overlooks their voices, inviting audiences to listen, reflect, and connect.
Advisory: This play contains profanity and discussions of adult behavior such as sex, drugs, violence, race, and sexual identity.
