Inua Ellams: Search Party at Clarice Smith, Jan 26 & 27

Inua Ellams: Search Party at Clarice Smith, Jan 26 & 27

Inua Ellams: Search Party
In partnership with the Under the Radar Festival

Fri, Jan 26, 2024 . 7:00PM
Sat, Jan 27, 2024 . 7:00PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

A man walks into a room with his life in his hands. He is the internationally acclaimed artist and playwright Inua Ellams (Barber Shop Chronicles, The Half God of Rainfall) and he has filled thousands of pages in an ongoing attempt to be heard, to give his genius wings that can travel. Every word he’s ever written is captured, all the poems and the theater and the essays, the drafts of projects abandoned and works as yet unknown, indexed, rendered as binary and waiting patiently within the confines of the electronic tablet he’s holding even now. Pick a word, any word. Prompted by audience suggestion and open conversation, Ellams searches through his archive, unearths refined or raw gold and presents his treasure in a spontaneous performance. Search Party is an act of call and response that hearkens back to the birth of storytelling. At this uniquely futuristic and puckishly chaotic interactive event, the artist couldn’t be more present. He’s inviting you to join the work. What do you say?

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of music, laughter, and a zesty lineup of Frank Sinatra’s most popular songs. This show is authentic – not an impersonation. Performing with the original music arrangements, Halston and his world-class band bring the Sinatra sound and swagger to the stage with a swanky Vegas vibe.

Dave’s performance is so outstanding, he was chosen by Barbara Sinatra, Frank’s widow, to perform for her birthday party. She called his performance “WONDERFUL!”
