BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Playwright Keenan Scott II's "Thoughts of a Colored Man" explores the lives, pressures, and passions of seven contemporary Black men who live in one Brooklyn neighborhood. The characters—never given names—are identified by the traits they embody: Lust, Love, Anger, Passion, Wisdom, Depression, and Happiness.
Cultural Significance: The play is the first Broadway show written and directed by Black men with a Black man in the lead role.
For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!
