“Obama: What have we done?” by Michael Monasterial

“Time Bomb: J Edgar Hoover and Malcom X” by Michael Monasterial

In 1963, the United States was on the verge of Civil War. A war over the most volatile issue facing America: Civil rights and Race. These two men had a confrontation of philosophies that could only end one way…explosion.

“Toussant L’Overture: The Fire that never dies!” by Michael Monasterial

In 1792, a revolution started that would pit a small slave island nation against the three world supers: England, Spain and France. When the people of Haiti won their Independence the man that led them to victory was kidnapped to the Swiss Alps and tortured to death after he was lured in by a peace treaty. His name and his story can never be forgotten.

We performed last week at Tears for Haiti at the Beautiful Fisher Center...what a theater, what a night.
