MORE INFO

Roger Guenveur Smith returns to the local stage with IN HONOR OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT, called by the Minnesota Star Tribune “spellbinding …a storytelling master class.”

Roger and Jean-Michel befriended each other in Los Angeles, with Basquiat painting in a Venice studio, and Smith rapping in the fertile 1980s club scene as “Hollywatts.”

Throughout the decade, Smith’s politically charged soliloquies found their way onto Basquiat’s canvas, and Smith eventually created “Smiley,” the Basquiat-inspired artist / arsonist for Spike Lee’s classic DO THE RIGHT THING.

Outside In is thrilled that this stunning solo performance will inaugurate our newly constructed main theatre.

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays at 8pm
