Roundabout Theatre Company is presenting The Refocus Project, a multi-year project to elevate and restore marginalized plays to the American canon. The first series of Refocus play readings, presented in association with Black Theatre United, will spotlight twentieth-century Black plays and their playwrights: Angelina Weld Grimké, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Childress and Samm-Art Williams.
On Friday, April 30 the project will launch with Samm-Art Williams 90-minute drama HOME directed by Roundabout s Senior Resident Director Kenny Leon.
The HOME company includes Rob Demery (last seen in Leon s Tony nominated revival of A Soldier s Play), Joaquina Kalukango (Tony nominee for Slave Play), Brittany Inge (BET s Boomerang ) and Christina Sajous (Broadway s Spongebob Squarepants).
