Each character is allegorical: love, lust, passion, anger, wisdom, happiness, and depression. These men will share their unfiltered thoughts about themselves and the issues that surround them. The play stars Esau Pritchett, Dyllón Burnside, Luke James, Tristan ‘Mack’ Wilds, Da’Vinchi, Bryan Terrell Clark, and Forrest McClendon. The play tells the story of seven black men in a gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn. Thoughts of a Colored Man is playwright Keenan Scott II’s Broadway debut. This month, Broadway returns with an exciting new play that is poetic, timely, and groundbreaking. “Show the spectrum of black male existence.” Photo courtesy of Thoughts of a Colored Man.
