Emergence-SEE!
B2: Productions co-presents a fantastic piece, Emergence-See!
We received a phone call from Broadway’s Chester Gregory telling us that we needed to see this piece, so in support of Chester, we went. We had no idea that this piece would be as powerful and moving as it was. In true B2: Productions fashion, we extended our hands in support of Daniel Beaty. It is a FREE event so the price is definitely right. We can personally guarantee that you will not be dissappointed by this talented brother who wrote and performs the thought provoking piece entitled Emergence-See!
Ruby Dee presents Emergence-SEE! "Every now and then you see a performance that jolts the senses to attention; this is one of them! Somehow this artist touched something so deep in me that I love to see in a performance and in the human spirit. By the end, I was on my feet shouting like someone in church." -Ruby Dee speaking of Daniel Beaty’s Emergence-SEE!
On Sunday, February 26th, legendary Actress & Activist Ruby Dee will present a special, FREE performance of Emergence-SEE! written & performed by Daniel Beaty of HBO’s Def Poetry Season III & IV and the 2004 Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe Grand Slam Champion. Reviewed as "a dazzling 90 minutes full of memorable moments" by the New York Times and "a brilliant spellbinding performance" by the Amsterdam News, Emergence-SEE! fuses monologue, spoken word and song into an electrifying theatrical experience. One man, forty characters. Emergence-SEE! is being presented in association with Aaron Davis Hall, The National Black Theater Festival and B2: Productions.
The evening will begin with a press conference announcing the inaugural season of The Harlem Experience featuring a spoken word performance and special guest Natasha C. Coward.
