The Voices of Donny Hathaway
by Robert King, Jr.
Jan. 11 - Jan. 13, 2018
Thursday-Saturday
On January 13th, 1979 the world lost Donny Hathaway,one of its greatest musicians and singers. In Robert King Jr.'s new thought-provoking musical he introduces us to a side of Donny Hathaway we've never seen him before. Donny's battle with the voices that haunted and tormented him were caused by paranoid schizophrenia. The musical suggests that the night prior to Donny's jump off of the 15th story of the Essex hotelhe had a conversation at the bar with a non fictional character by the name of Pamela Robinson ( Samone Murray). Pamela asked him what songs he would perform if he knew that he had one last time to perform. This takes us into Donny's hallucination of that final concert.
