Mr. Lee’s work has been well reviewed and a simple google search will pull up many reviews to support my previous statement and sincere sentiment.
He’s a brilliant actor. A brilliant writer and a very, very, very complex soul.
A long time ago, I tried my hand at producing theater. My one-and-only attempt was a success because I worked with Roger Guenveur Smith. The play (that I produced) was FREDERICK DOUGLASS NOW and the venue was La MaMa ETC and it was at the soulful and positive urging of the late Ellen Stewart.
The budget for the multimedia play was modest, so I did my own pubic relations and marketing.
That effort lead me to a position, in pr, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music which lead me to personal publicity for John Leguizamo ("Mambo Mouth" and "Spic-O-Rama" years) which opened the doors to working with producers Martin Bregman ("Carlito's Way") and Martin Bregman ("Scarface" - "Dog Day Afternoon).
I've said "all that" to share that Mr. Smith is back in the city with a controversial piece and its an affordable price.
If your into reviews, I can share that the New York Times called Roger Guenveur Smith's RODNEY KING: "“Sinuous, complicated, deeply moving.”
