The one-man play, James Baldwin: Down from the Mountaintop, will be performed Feb. 1 at 7 p.m., in the Kaleidoscope Blackbox Theater.
The biographical play, written and performed by Tony Award-nominated actor Calvin Levels, sketches the complex life of novelist, playwright, essayist and civil rights activist James Baldwin.
The play highlights Baldwin's personal difficulties as a black and homosexual male in pre-civil rights era America, and his historic relationships with other activists like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
