(firmenpresse) - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 4, 2013
By Mark Hunter and Karl D. King are challenging men to “Man Up”
Detroit, MI (November 2013) – As the holiday season rapidly approaches most of us are preparing ourselves for family, friends, fun and the frustrations that come along with it. What better time is there to indulge oneself both culturally and intellectually? The new hit stage play Man Up is just the thing to prepare you for the upcoming holidays. On November 9th-10th 2013, The Northwest Activity Center will come to life with the perfect combination of drama and comedy, and a cast of characters you won’t soon forget. Offered by the collective writing genius of Mark Hunter and Karl D. King, and directed by the ultra-talented Melissa Talbot.
The Blue Star Lounge has been family owned for over 60 years, and is a neighborhood landmark. To say its owner Blue is a “colorful character” would be an understatement. His days are filled with a range of situations from humorous to hectic; as are the lives of his patrons. Witness as their stories of pain, tragedy, and triumph unfold. Man Up is both outrageous and thought provoking. It’s an incisive look into the human condition, and the problems that plague the inner city. It’s a microscopic view of the erosion of black families, and the absence of the strong black men. This is the play that asks the question. Will you man up?
