Greenway Court Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
One Man Shown is a collection of spoken word narratives from the point of view of multiple characters. Together, they illustrate the journey of a man who has grown up but must go further to truly mature into manhood. One Man Shown‘s stories are told by a grandmother, police officer, African girl and hate crime survivor — among others–presented in the form of poetry and punctuated by music and projected images. It begins with a teenage boy’s early reality check from his mother and proceeds through the joys and tumult of romance, the stark and brutal lessons of sexual identity in America and also examines the global attack on women and femininity. Each character helps illuminate the painstaking craft of adulthood, including the importance of stable men in the author’s life, the devastation of loss and ultimately, creating a voice in the world as an artist and a man.
