TV: First Look at Highlights of Black Ensemble's HOWLIN WOLF

By:


Black Ensemble Theater announces In Memory of Howlin Wolf (Ain't No Crying the Blues), written by Black Ensemble Theater Founder and CEO Jackie Taylor, directed by Associate Director Rueben Echoles, and starring Rick Stone one of the stars of the classic movie Cooley High . In Memory of Howlin Wolf is presented at the new Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 4450 N. Clark Street in Chicago, through August 11, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at highlights of the production below.

When Rick Stone (Cooley High) first performed as Howlin Wolf, Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "It's Rick Stone who consistently knocks your socks off in his terrifically sustained performance. And as he moves through Wolf's hits-Red Rooster, Goin' Down Slow, I Ain't Superstitious, Baby Please Don't Go and more-it's the audience that begins howlin' loudest." Now Rick Stone returns to do it again in this new story reflecting the life and times of one of the greatest blues singers the world has ever known - Howlin Wolf.
