Broadnax, III is bringing social horror to the Steinbright Stage at People's Light with"I thought, why not set it in the game of dominoes?" says Broadnax, the writer and director of"He's very interested in how to put scary on stage," says Zak Berkman, Producing Artistic Director at People's Light in Malvern, Pa.
"I wanted initially to create a space where Black men can get together and be their authentic selves," says Broadnax."Trey is a queer character," says Keith A. Wallace, the actor who portrays Trey, a college professor, in the play. Wallace says his character is trying to figure out how being queer plays into his personal experience within the Black community - both professionally and socially.
"A mysterious knock occurs and changes the evening, and their lives forever," says Broadnax. "We're playing with your senses, psychologically and physically, in this play.""Black horror, specifically, it's a great allegory for facing our fears," he adds."And it's just a great, fun time to have a lens to see what it looks like for a group of Black men to be in relation with one another," says Robinson.
"There are a lot of young boys in the world who find themselves being told they can't behave certain ways and those create demons inside those boys," says Berkman.
