Description
"As a hardcore intellectual from the roots of Philadelphia, I've been trying to entice and inspire black men to read, write and fight with their minds for over 20 years. So watching and listening to good brother “Egypt” with a boxing analogy of how us strong Black Men get back up to win is right on time! And I'll be the first in line to witness his inspirational words of hard truth. 'Cause we damn sure need it!"
New York Times bestselling and NAACP Image Award winning author -- Omar Tyree
About The Show
One man and seven characters illustrate healing truths many brothers want to say but can't or won't articulate. Why won't they? If they did, society has already considered a man who speaks openly about his troubles as, "weak", "effeminate" or "soft." Why would they?
Throughout this play, the audience will see where brothers struggle in the act of doing right. Additionally, inside each character, the audience will note there is a place where sisters can help brothers become better men while not enabling them to become dependent on their support. Why? A strong Black family is a household of two INTERdependent people.
This isn't a male bashing play. Nor is it one for women who indulge in coddling deadbeat boy/men. This is to bridge a gap between “conscious ignorance” and “common sense answers” for the sole purpose of changing the climate of Black love, homes and families… one stage at a time.
"Egypt", author of the first book chronicling how to change the current state of men, Change Him…In 100 Pages, uses this one-man show to change how Black men are viewed. Be prepared to laugh, cry and learn truths about Black men.
