Opening Night Friday, May 7th, 8:00 PM at the Riverside Church Theater. After Daniel Beaty’s new solo play Through the Night, which will run for a limited time at The Riverside Theatre, Bill Cosby will be on-hand to participate in a community dialogue with Beaty and the audience at the May 7th opening night. Throughout its performance run, other special guests will participate in post-performance dialogues to speak on various topics and concerns, including: Malik Yoba (Fatherhood, May 8, 8:00 PM.); Hill Harper (Relationships, May 15, 8:00 PM); and Sonia Sanchez and Ruby Dee (Artists as Activists, May 8, 2:00 PM).Through the Night addresses subjects that concern the African-American community specifically and all people generally.

What a rush! I have seen this masterful work twice. The first time I had to work hard to follow its genius. The second time I was swept away by its emotional intensity. I am headed to see it a third time with anticipation!
