bertrand Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 When did Max Roach see the play? Bertrand. Quote
brownie Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 Looks like Max Roach was at a press preview last weekend. And looks better than on the other photos of him I have seen lately! Quote
maren Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Really? I think maybe that was a photo from 2000? This play has had runs at the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe (where Rome Neal -- a great stage presence, BTW -- is the director-in-residence) and various theater festivals around the country for several years... Edit: Here's the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe page on "Monk" -- http://www.nuyorican.org/Theater/MonkDEC04.html -- it went online in December to announce this opening, and I'm pretty sure all the pull-quotes (Max Roach, Barry Harris, Ossie Davis, etc.) are from the 2000 production (I know for a fact that several of the newspaper review quotes are definitely from 2000) -- so I'm guessing (unfortunately) that this picture of Max Roach is also about 5 years old...

Jazzmoose Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I don't think Ozzie Davis saw it in it's present location either... Quote
