te! Presents: Pages from the Journal, the new one man show written, directed and featuring Tomas.

Originally titled Pages from the Journal of a New York City Nigga, this hour long performance is the story of a man on a subway train who finds the journal of Jamal, a brotha from Brooklyn who shares his feelings with his journal, the only thing in the world he feels he can trust. Through movement, music and dialogue, this one man show written, directed, and performed by Tomas follows Jamal's emotional journey through the pages of his journal. Issues such as the affects of Hip Hop on today’s youth, HIV/AIDS, homophobia and feminism, just to name a few, are addressed. More information about this performance may be found by visiting the te!
