Playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney to Lead Q&A for THE BROTHERS SIZE at Fountain Theatre This Weekend

Playwright and MacArthur "Genius Grant" recipient Tarell Alvin McCraney will lead a Q & A following the performance of The Brothers Size at the Fountain Theatre on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Directed by Shirley Jo Finney and starring Gilbert Glenn Brown, Matthew Hancock and Theodore Perkins, The Brothers Size (like the other plays in McCraney's "Brother/Sister Plays" trilogy) is an exuberantly theatrical drama that weaves together the pulsing rhythms of the Louisiana bayou with African Yoruba mythology to create a stylized story of love and heartache. The Fountain Theatre production marks the Los Angeles premiere and has earned critical raves including a Los Angeles Times "Critic's Choice."

The Q & A with McCraney will follow the performance of The Brothers Size on Saturday, Aug, 16 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $34. The Fountain Theatre is located at 5060 Fountain Avenue (at Normandie) in Los Angeles. Secure, on-site parking is available for $5.
