“Joe tells difficult truths with unsparing honesty leavened with glorious wit and humor.”
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Georgetown University
“Humorous and powerful.”
Saul Williams, Musician/Poet
Dear Friends:
“Awake” is a coming-of-middle-age story where I do my best to find the humor in tragedies that we all inevitably face.
Thanks to the dedicated work of my director, Benjamin Byron Davis, I think we’ve created a story that is incredibly revealing, funny and relatable.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Love,
Joe
p.s. OPENING NIGHT AFTER PARTY will include music from singer/songwriter Dez Hope and Tha Boogie who were recently profiled in Rolling Stone Magazine as a band to watch out for!
