Dinner with Booker T.

Darryl Reuben Hall takes the audience on a journey into the life of Booker T. Washington by portraying the many friends and enemies that kept him strong in the fight for achievement including but limited to a United States Officer to a General, from a Coal Miner to President Theodore Roosevelt, 16 characters in all. The show has received many accolades, including: 2019 National Black Theatre Festival Honoree “Wow…his vocals and dances give us a picture of a man and his journey to establish Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.” (Elizabeth Briscoe Wilson, Retired Lincoln University Librarian) “This piece evokes deep thinking and a well needed, important conversation on race in America. With many historical shows making their way to the Broadway stage, such as “Hamilton” and “Amazing Grace”, [Dinner with Booker T.] could potentially fit into this trend, and shine.” (Brooke Clariday, Theatre Reviews Unlimited) This production contains instances of strong language that may be upsetting to some audience members.
