What did our critic think of TOPDOG UNDERDOG at Actor's Express?

Suzan-Lori Park's Topdog/Underdog is currently running at Actor's Express in Atlanta through April 19. Take a look at photos from the production, directed by Eric J. Little.

Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today announced the nonprofit organization's 2024 theatre season—three thought-provoking, community driven, and socially relevant productions from professional, cutting-edge playwrights.

Cowboy, the story of Bass Reeves, will debut Off-Broadway this December. Reeves made history by being the first black U.S. Deputy Marshall in America.   This is the first full on western to hit a Broadway or Off-Broadway stage in over 80 years.

Cowboy, written and directed by Layon Gray, has been selected as a mainstage production at the 2022 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston Salem, NC.

The play, a fair and angry indictment of social injustice, asks a number of important questions, and the gorgeous cast, under the adept direction of Atlanta-favorite Tinashe Kajese Bolden and Keith Arthur Bolden, and with help from an incredibly able design team, brings the indictment to powerful life.
