BACKSTAGE on Any 1 Man
The one-person show is among the most difficult of theatrical forms. How does the performer hold the attention of the audience for a full evening all by himself or herself? George A. Peters II, along with co-creator B. Fontenot Johnson, has mastered the form in his one-man elegy to the black man, in which he portrays with grace and power characters ranging from Adam in the Garden of Eden to a homeless man on the streets of an urban jungle.
