Entre bastidores: Thoughts of a Colored Man

Keenan Scott II, el dramaturgo emergente, aporta una nueva perspectiva a Broadway con su nueva obra, Thoughts of a Colored Man . En Brooklyn actual, el espectáculo profundiza en las experiencias de siete hombres negros, cada uno en diferentes fases de la vida y cada uno se enfrenta a desafíos individuales y presiones sociales. Estos escenarios universales cotidianos —el nacimiento y la muerte de los seres queridos, complicaciones de la paternidad, deficiencias profesionales, gentrificación que cambia la comunidad y exploración de la identidad sexual— permiten a todos ver una parte de sí mismos en los personajes.

El elenco estelar y el equipo de rodaje (incluidos Tristan “Mack” Wilds , Dyllón Burnside y Luke James) hacen un gran trabajo para atraer al público, pero lo que hace que el juego sea extraordinario es cómo proporciona uno de los pocos entornos para que los hombres negros vean sus complejidades y vulnerabilidades normalizadas y compartidas en el escenario. En lugar de historias típicas a nivel de superficie del qué, este juego explora el porqué y el cómo del hombre negro de hoy sin sensacionalizar. Para los hombres negros y la comunidad negra, este juego sirve como un espejo muy necesario para la introspección. Para todos los demás, levanta la cortina y deja espacio para explorar los pensamientos de los hombres negros de formas nuevas y significativas.
