Living the Shuffle at The Marsh Berkeley

"Living the Shuffle," Robert Townsends one-man rollercoaster-ride through the ups and downs of show business, will be presented The Marsh Berkeley. Renowned actor/director Robert Townsend has worked with Hollywood icons like Beyonc, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, and many more. Now, the trailblazing filmmaker gives audiences a front row seat to his career, from the dangerous streets of Chicago to performing Julius Caesar at a pimp convention in New York City, then creating the breakout film that would launch his career, Hollywood Shuffle, and becoming a Black film pioneer. Critics and audiences alike have been praising Townsend and this new solo show. The San Francisco Chronicle called it a raw and madcap comedy, imploring audiences to come for the gossip, stay for Townsends imagination.
