I just wanted to give our readers/radio listeners a heads up-noted playwright, director and producer, Shelly Garrett will be stopping by for a scheduled sitdown this Sunday at 7pm eastern. For those in the (theatrical) know, Mr. Garrett is known for creating such plays as: Beauty Shop, You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else and Barber Shop. Suffice it to say, before there was a Tyler Perry, there was a Shelly Garrett. Joining me for this special broadcast, will be two esteemed blogging colleagues, Invisible Woman and Sergio from Bloodsport. We will discuss Mr. Garrett's genesis in the world of Black theatre, his thoughts on the growing division between high and low brow African-American productions, his influence on Tyler Perry's career and neo-minstrel criticisms. Again folks, this is not the show to miss, so mark your calendars!
Check out Mr. Garrett's handiwork below-a snippet from You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else:
