An amazing journey of actor, writer and filmmaker, ROBERT TOWNSEND.
As seen in FX's The Bear, A Soldier's Story, The Five Heartbeats, and Meteor Man.
A natural-born storyteller who takes us on a showbiz rollercoaster ride from the dangerous streets of Chicago to performing Julius Caesar at a pimp convention in New York City. This one-man show takes you behind the scenes of giving birth to his first film Hollywood Shuffle, done with miracle and a credit card.
This edgy, vulnerable, and hilarious show will inspire and give hope to the dreamer in anyone.
