This hilarious one man show is a comedic coming-of-age narrative of a young African-American male from the south side of Chicago. The tapestry of stories woven together creates the journey through Alfred’s child hood to adult life. This rollicking story explore the impact that community has on an individual’s personal development.
After a decade of development and several incarnations, James T. Alfred and long time collaborator Lou Bellamy teamed up to fine tune the script. A Brown Tale received its first full production at Penumbra Theatre, opening its inaugural Claude Edison Purdy Individual Artist Festival. During that two week run, A Brown Tale played to over 1,200 people and was listed #3 on the Star Tribune’s Top Ten Twin City Productions of 2013, and was also nominated for Best New Work/Play of 2013 by Broadwayworld.com/minneapolis.
