Three for the King:
Short Plays to Honor the Legacy of MLK
by Renee’ Flemings
Directed by Laura E. Johnston
Every Martin Luther King Day, Renee’ writes a short play that is inspired by King’s life and teachings. UP has selected three of those plays to present together on stage for the first time.
Featuring:
CK Allen, Renee’ Flemings*, Anthony Franqui*, Kailah S. King*, John L. Payne*
Join us at The Fountain Bookshop for an inspiring author talk, Q&A, and signing with Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, author of The Cities We Need: Essential Stories of Everyday Places.
In this powerful exploration of Brooklyn and Oakland and the importance of community spaces everywhere, Bendiner-Viani blends photography and prose, sharing the stories of residents who give us a personal, intimate view of their neighborhoods. Through their eyes, we witness the vital, often overlooked places that shape our cities – and sometimes, are lost to gentrification and displacement.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from the author herself about the making of this evocative book!
