About this Event
Bring the whole family out to see the coming of age story focused on 10 year old, Troy Carmichael. The stage play is adapted from Spike Lee's "Crooklyn," directed by Coffy Davis and produced by The Our Voices Theatre Lab!Woody Carmichael, Troy's father, is a jazz musician whose career is in a slump; he once made a good living as a session musician, but he has moved away from it to devote himself to more serious music, a choice that has not worked out well from a financial standpoint. His wife Carolyn works as a school teacher to keep food on the table. The Carmichaels have five children, a bright and introspective daughter named Troy and four sons with a habit of causing trouble, and they all share an apartment in a brownstone in Brooklyn. Crooklyn follows the Carmichaels as the kids learn the funny and painful lessons of growing up, Mom and Dad balance their love for each other against the financial and personal difficulties of the creative life, and they all try to get along with the often eccentric neighbors on their block. Crooklyn's soundtrack is enlivened by classic 70s R&B hits, including selections by Sly and the Family Stone, The Jackson Five, Curtis Mayfield, The Staple Singers, and The Chambers Brothers.
