City Theatre Launches the New Year With THROUGH THE NIGHT

City Theatre begins the New Year with Through The Night, a poetic one-man show written and performed by Daniel Beaty. Through the Night runs January 14 – February 5, 2012 on City Theatre's Main Stage, with an Opening Night Performance on Friday, January 20 at 8 p.m.

Presented by special arrangement with Daryl Roth, Through The Night tells six intersecting stories about what it means to be a black man in America today. Equal parts poetry and soul, this virtuosic feat of acting presents a range of eclectic characters – a precocious 10-year-old boy, an overweight bishop, a college student escaping the projects, and more. Each unforgettable voice reveals the hope, courage, and determination we all need to make it through the night. The New York Times calls Through the Night "a thing of beauty."

Through The Night features Daniel Beaty, an award-winning actor, singer, writer, and composer. He received the 2007 Obie Award for excellence in Off-Broadway Theatre for Writing and Performing and the 2007 AUDELCO Award for Solo Performance for his critically acclaimed solo play, Emergence-See! He is the recipient of the 2007 Scotsman Fringe First Award for the best new writer at the Edinburgh Festival and was presented with a Lamplighter Award from the Black Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. Daniel has worked throughout the U.S., Europe and Africa performing on programs with artists such as Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Jill Scott, Sonia Sanchez, MC Lyte, Mos Def, Tracy Chapman, Deepak Chopra, and Phylicia Rashad. He holds a BA with honors in English & Music from Yale University and an MFA in acting from The American Conservatory Theatre (ACT). His ensemble play Resurrection received its world premiere production at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. in August 2008, where he was awarded the 2008 Edgerton Foundation's new American Play award.
