T. S. Banks is directing a collection of spoken word pieces and monologues in the Loud 'N Unchained Black Theater Festival.
Several years in the making, this celebration of theater, music, poetry and performance art written, directed and performed by Black artists was originally on the schedule last summer at Broom Street Theater. The LNU Festival instead will make its debut virtually with five filmed performances premiering free of charge at
blacktheaterfestival.com (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Friday, 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Saturday). The fest includes works by Austin Dean Ashford, Sean Avery, Quanda Johnson and Rachel Lynett, as well as a showcase of spoken word and drag performances by Madison and Milwaukee performers. Note, each performance will only be available at the time it premieres.
