class="content__text" Frostburg State University (@frostburgstateuniversity ), Alma Mater of our playwright @Keenanthemuse has licensed the rights to do Thoughts of a Colored Man this spring. Scott will be returning to guest direct. Auditions for the student production will take place Friday, Feb. 17 (6 PM to 8 PM) and Saturday, Feb. 18 (1 PM to 4 PM) in room 224 of the Pealer Performing Arts Center. Scott, who wrote the play while a student at FSU, will return to campus for the auditions as well. Contact the Department of Theatre and Dance at FSU to receive an audition packet, schedule an audition and ask questions: [email protected], PAC 302B. Scripts can be checked out through the front desk of the Lewis J. Ort Library. Vulnerable and vibrant, raw and alive, "Thoughts of a Colored Man" weaves spoken word, slam poetry and rhythm into a mosaic of the inner lives of Black men. Over the course of a single day in the pulsing heart of Brooklyn, the hopes, sorrows, fears, and joys of seven men reverberate far beyond the barbershops and basketball courts of their community. #ThoughtsOfAColoredMan #TOACM #KeenanScottII #Playwright #Director #FrostburgStateUniversity #frostburgtheatre #FrostburgStudents

class="content__text" We are heartbroken to announce that performances have ended for Thoughts of a Colored Man as of Wednesday, December 22. We have tried our hardest to safely navigate the current, unfortunate health crisis, but ultimately we are unable to continue under the unfortunate conditions of Covid exposure in the city and country. Producers Brian Moreland, Ron Simons, Diana DiMenna, Kandi Burruss, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Samira Wiley have released the following statement: “While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, being part of this historic season on Broadway has been the greatest privilege of our lives. The theatre industry’s great return is about so much more than the success or failure of any single production. As a community, we remain undeterred, unflinching and unstoppable. We have never been prouder to be theater makers than at this very moment.” Those with tickets for cancelled performances should contact their point of purchase for refunds. Thank you, Broadway 💛
