BLACK MONGOOSE AND HIS LIL PURPLE BUTTERFLY
World premiere by Cleveland playwright Christopher Johnston
In his youth, Black Mongoose was an
all-state basketball player. Next he became a fierce street fighter who stole
what he could steal and sold what he could sell. Then, given the choice to
avoid prison, he became a minister and got married. The Church and his marriage
allegedly kept his demons in check -- until a lethal incident involving a police officer and his wife send Mongoose and his family into Holy Hell.
Directed by Ashley Aquilla. Cast: Cornell H. Calhoun III, LaShawn Little and Mia Jones
