Turning False Monologues

'I have never been about the business of doing feel-good theatre. I don't think all black plays need to be celebratory. I love and admire BRING IN DA NOISE, BRING IN DA FUNK, but I like dealing with darker aspects of what the African American experience has been for a lot of people. When so much of the male population is in prison, how can we be so celebratory, you know, when there are so many individual tragedies being lived and played out?'
