What: Confessions of a Lounge Singer

People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.” – David Lee Roth

 

Confessions of a Lounge Singer is a one man production written and performed by Dasan Ahanu. Set in the ‘60s it follows the life of popular lounge singer Earl “Treetops” Johnson as he struggles to hold onto his dreams, find love, meet expectation s and satisfy his goon of a boss. Not only a fictitious representation of the lounge scene it is a metaphor for spoken word today. Many poets come to find their voice in lounges or coffee shops sharing their work at the open mic and gaining popularity with each new piece. They soon feel the tug of their art at their soul. It leaves them seeking to balance the pull of home and the community they love (City), life and personal relationships (Songbird), and th pursuit of their own aspirations and dreams. Come take this journey inside the soul of a lounge sin...I mean poet. This is another Black Poetry Theatre Production.
