FAMU Theatre to livestream virtual performances of ‘Calming the Man’
Taylor County author and playwright Anthony White’s play, “Calming the Man,” has been chosen by the Florida A&M University’s Essential Theater for its Writing for Life Playing Reading Series.
Free live-streamed performances of “Calming the Man,” directed by Luther D. Wells, will be available Feb. 26-27.
The Essential Theater also produced a stage run of White’s play, “The Long Goodbye,” in the fall of 2018.
“Calming the Man” is set in Greenville and features a the story of two young men who are determined not to let their father’s anger break them, regardless of the cost.
“We had no idea it would take so long, and be so hard.” There’s a hard truth in that statement, softly but emphatically delivered by Gwendolyn Briley-Strand as Mrs. Rosa Parks that seems to sum up much more than the Montgomery bus strike. It sums up the entire Black experience in this country, and the escalation of hostility toward communities of people of color over the last four years. It’s one line, but reflects the bone- and soul-deep weariness of an endless battle and the one-foot-in-front-of-the-other-courage needed to keep on fighting.
It was a perfect show to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day. It is also a perfect show to remember how much work is still to be done.
