Said By The Father and Son is a live theatrical experience that brings audiences into the real-life relationship of father and son, Leon Walker and Rob Young Walker, through poetry, storytelling, live music, and immersive visuals. More than a performance, it is an honest and moving journey through legacy, identity, healing, grief, joy, and the lessons passed from one generation to the next.
Set against a dynamic backdrop of live artistry and emotional truth, the show blends spoken word, personal stories, music, and reflection to create an experience that feels intimate, inspiring, and unforgettable. What makes this production unique is that it is not actors playing a role. It is a real father and son opening their lives to the audience in real time, sharing the beauty, tension, humor, and love that shape their bond.
Throughout the evening, audiences witness a powerful artistic call and response between two generations. Leon Walker, a celebrated poet and speaker, brings wisdom, presence, and depth. Rob Young Walker, an award winning filmmaker, producer, and poet, brings vulnerability, insight, and a contemporary voice rooted in personal truth. Together, they create a space that invites audiences to reflect on their own relationships, their own healing, and the stories that have shaped them.
Said By The Father and Son speaks to anyone who has ever wrestled with family, searched for understanding, longed for connection, or wanted to break cycles and build something stronger for the next generation. It is a show about fathers and sons, but it is also about all of us. About what we inherit, what we carry, and what we choose to pass on.
Whether you come for the poetry, the music, the storytelling, or the emotional experience, you will leave with more than a night of entertainment. You will leave with something to think about, something to feel, and perhaps something to take back into your own life.
Come experience a one of a kind evening of truth, artistry, and connection.
