The Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Two actors portray multiple characters spanning three generations of one African-American family in this touching drama at L.A.’s Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center. Playwright E.L. James brings the complex issues of fatherhood — the mistakes of our parents that we try not to repeat, the stubbornness of children — in his poignant, autobiographical drama Nobody Walks Like My Daddy, which deals with the absence of the father in the home and the effect it has on the family and the larger community. Live jazz saxophone playing and a capalla singing elevate this multigenerational tale that cleverly brings to light both personal and universal truths from both sides of the father-son relationship.
