"A Brooklyn Boy"

One-Man Spoken Word Show "A Brooklyn Boy"

One actor. One Brooklyn neighborhood. 32 characters. "A Brooklyn Boy" is a one-man spoken word show that portrays Steven Prescod's coming-of-age story with a slightly different theatrical edge. As an impressionable teenager in Bed-Stuy, despite his efforts to break free from his neighborhood's unyielding grip, Steven was constantly pulled back, ultimately leading to his arrest. While facing a seven-year jail sentence, Steven could have been another statistic or another headline. However, he was given a second chance at life. Steven's gut wrenching story is unique, yet universal to all urban youth. Come see it at the East Village Playhouse in New York.
