[THE TICKETS ARE ALL GONE! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE GIVEAWAY!]
Bed-Stuy Blog is giving away five pairs of tickets to the play County of Kings! Read on to find out how you can win!
This play, currently at The Public Theatre, is produced by Spike Lee, Culture Project, Steve Colman, Jayson Jackson and Tom Wirtshafter in association with The Public Theater and The American Place Theatre.
Here’s a synopsis:
Featured earlier this year as part of The Public Theater’s Under The Radar Festival, Lemon Andersen’s County of Kings gives a tough, yet poignant autobiographical account of a good kid growing up in an unforgiving environment. Lemon, whose parents met at a methadone clinic and passed away from AIDS, served two prison sentences before he was 21 and won a Tony before he turned 30. His on-stage memoir touches on young love, the birth of hip hop, slinging crack, ballet, stealing car parts, prison, and poetry as he takes the audience on an astonishing and surprising one-man journey toward self-discovery. Weaving hard-edged drama with urban poetry, the Brooklyn born and bred performer tells his coming-of-age story with profound honesty, compassion and humor. A true story of finding passion in the arts and finding one’s way, Lemon paints a vivid portrait of his own life and the lives of countless other Brooklynites during the 1980s and 1990s.
The New York Times recently wrote this very interesting article on Andersen and County of Kings.
