DA’ Right Entertainment Presents the Classic, Pulitzer Prize Winning Drama, A Soldiers Play by Charles Fuller, A guest production at the Santa Monica Playhouse Main Stage
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 06, 2015 -- DA’ Right Entertainment presents a limited engagement run of the classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, “A Soldiers Play”* by Charles Fuller. February 26, 2015 through March 1, 2015.
Set in Louisiana during the 1940s, “A Soldier's Play” is a murder mystery that takes place on a racially segregated military base. With writing that examines the causes of oppression facing African Americans and the obstacles to their advancement, writer Charles Fuller manages to pose provocative questions about social issues and stereotypes that are still relevant today.
Produced by the Negro Ensemble Company, the original production opened on November 20, 1981 and ran for 468 performances. It won, in addition to the Pulitzer; the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best American Play, and the Obie Award for Distinguished Ensemble Performance.
“A Soldier’s Play” helped launch the careers of Hollywood powerhouses Denzel Washington and Samuel L.Jackson, we are hoping to achieve some of the same success for this talented ensemble. Our cast features: actor, entrepreneur, executive vegan chef and founder of ieatgrass.com, Ayinde Howell in the lead role of Captain Davenport, along with David Haley, David Lombard, Kyle Jones, Al Spencer, Bradford Barnes, Justin Key, Hari Williams, Blake Young-Fountain, Peter Monro, Brant Rotnem, and John Pleasant.
