The Black Clown is a world premiere music theater experience that fuses vaudeville, opera, jazz, and spirituals to bring Langston Hughes’ verse to life onstage and animate a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression. The production features Davóne Tines (Crossing and Run AMOC! Festival) in the title role, an ensemble of twelve, and a new score by Michael Schachter (Run AMOC! Festival).


Adapted from Langston Hughes’ poem by Davóne Tines and Michael Schachter
