The Fountain Theatre presents the West Coast premiere of a timely and timeless theatrical journey. J. Alphonse Nicholson (Broadway's Tony award-winning A Soldier's Play; co-star P-Valley on Starz; Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone) reprises his off-Broadway, tour-de-force star turn as five versions of an African American everyman who travels through time in different incarnations, including a 19th Century minstrel, a faith healer, an FBI informant, a struggling actor and an out-of-work mortgage broker. In each life, Abel is guided, distracted, helped or hindered by a handful of characters with whom his destiny is forever intertwined. We meet each new iteration of Abel Green on a train, which changes in appearance in accordance with each time period and serves as a link between dimensions. Nov. 9 – Dec. 16; Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Ave. (at Normandie), Los Angeles, CA 90029; $25-$45; Pay-What-You-Want every Monday (subject to availability); (323) 663-1525; https://www.FountainTheatre.com/events/freight.
