SUMMARY:Baritone Hue
DESCRIPTION:BARITONE HUE is a one-person spoken word poetry performance that blends theatrical storytelling\, lyrical verse\, and visual atmosphere to explore themes of faith\, creative rebirth\, and Black cultural identity. \nThe show follows poet Leroy D. Bean’s transformative journey to Paris\, where he traced the footsteps of James Baldwin and reconnected with his spirituality\, self-worth\, and purpose as an artist. The performance integrates personal narrative with crafted poetry\, using humor\, vulnerability\, and layered metaphors to guide the audience through a multidimensional experience. The show invites viewers to reflect on the power of surrendering to faith\, the tension between self-doubt and belief\, and the beauty of navigating life as a Black creative seeking alignment. \nBARITONE HUE resonates deeply by offering audiences a compelling artistic exploration of transformation and transcendence through the lens of spoken word.

SUMMARY:Another Evening For Justice: Benefiting The Ohio Innocence Project
DESCRIPTION:The evening will be in two acts. At the conclusion of the event\, those who have purchased a VIP ticket are invited to attend a reception with the event speakers across the street from the Victoria Theatre in the Schuster Center Wintergarden. \nAct I:\nWhat happens when six wrongfully convicted men take the stage to tell their own stories – not only as actors\, but as survivors? The Lynched Among Us is a groundbreaking theatrical production that brings together six wrongfully convicted men to reclaim their narratives and speak truth to a broken system. Written in their own words\, this production is more than a play – it is a living testimony. These men step into the spotlight not just to perform\, but to bear witness – exposing the pain\, injustice\, and long-term impact of being accused and convicted for crimes they did not commit. From the trauma of incarceration to the battle for freedom and justice\, the production shines a light on what happens when justice fails – and how resilience\, community\, and truth can become acts of resistance. \nAct I will last 30 minutes and will tell the wrongful conviction story of Ohio Innocence Project client Michael Sutton\, who spent 14 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Michael Sutton plays himself and the cast is comprised of his fellow Ohio exonerees. \nAct II:\nHosted by Gilbert King\, Pulitzer Prize winner for Devil In The Grove and creator of the hit true-crime podcast “Bone Valley\,” this Act will explore the journey of Leo Schofield\, Jr.\, who was recently freed after serving 35 years for a crime he didn’t commit – his wife’s murder. Mr. Schofield will be on hand to share his harrowing ordeal and heroic journey to freedom.
