Interview: Roc Living of CAMP LOGAN at The Ensemble Theatre
by Armando Urdiales - Jan 22, 2025
For over 20 years, Camp Logan has been a powerful cornerstone in Roc Living's journey as an actor, taking him from the roles of Franciscus and Bugaloosa to his current portrayal of Gweely Brown. Now, audiences at The Ensemble Theatre will have the chance to experience this gripping story, set against the backdrop of the historic 1917 Houston Riot, when the production opens soon. Camp Logan offers a lens into a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter of African-American history. For Roc, this role is a return to a familiar story and an opportunity to take on one of his most challenging and rewarding characters yet. From Gweely's humor that masks pain to his deep bonds of brotherhood, Roc's performance promises to bring this untold story to life with emotional depth and authenticity.
