and CARL PAYNE (Cole from "Martin" & "Cockroach" from Cosby).

Don’t miss Tommy and Cole live on stage in the Diary of Black Men

A Black History Month Special!!!

The phenomenon known as "The Diary of Black Men" is an exciting and tantalizing theatrical production that has played to sold-out audiences in the U.S., United Kingdom and Canada for nearly a quarter century. Written by Houstonian Thomas Meloncon, this choreopoem has stood the test of time and is the longest touring and most successful stage play in Black theatre history.

The plays subtitle "How do you love a Black woman?" provokes thoughts of a historical nature and magnitude. Originally penned in the late 70's, this newly updated version addresses the issues of love, trust and black family values that have long been discussed cross-culturally, by economists, politicians, theologians, social scientists and the like, thus making the black man, in the words of Mr. Meloncon, "...the most talked about animal in America." This observation could very well be the catalyst that has consistently packed venues in every corner of this country and abroad.

The show is a remarkable presentation that passionately combines prose, poetry and dance that complements each other in a highly dramatic style. It has always been a revolutionary piece that passionately delivers art and social commentary creating an emotional response from its audienceThe Diary of Black Men is a justly redeeming morality play laced with comedy and lots of revealing and provocative talk about Black men and their voice in the Human conversation.
