A Heated Discussion at Los Angeles Theatre Center

Written by Levy Lee Simon. Directed by Ben Guillory. Presented by The Robey Theatre Company.A trio of Orishas (entities of the spirit world), dismayed and enraged at the state of the world today and the fates of African Americans in particular, convenes the spirits of famous departed Black iconic figures (among them Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Ida B. Wells, James Baldwin, Lorraine Hansberry, Maya Angelou, Richard Pryor, Tupac Shakur, Nina Simone, and more).What follows is A Heated Discussion. Viewpoints, comments, and solutions are as diverse as the individuals comprising this combustible mix of personalities. What do our iconic Black men and women (and the spirit entities) conclude? Youll have to witness A Heated Discussion to find out.
