About the Show
March 19 – April 10, 2022
By Harrison David Rivers, in collaboration with Robin P. Hickman-Winfield, Directed by Talvin Wilks
1926. Fort Scott, Kansas. Gordon Parks, age 14, left home for St. Paul after the death of his mother. He lived with his sister, until her husband kicked him out of the house and into the streets. While struggling to survive, his mother’s words would echo in his head, “Make a good man of yourself, ‘cause you have a choice. You always have a choice.” Inspired by Parks’s book, A Choice of Weapons, Harrison takes us into the world of young Gordon, who would choose a camera to fight back hatred and discrimination. His passion as an artist would lead him to become a major figure in the American cultural landscape.
This World Premiere Drama features Kevin Brown as Gordon Parks and James A. Williams as Pigeon Man.
