Have you had your fill of musical nights? Well, why not go for a night at the theatre instead? As it just so happens that the Eisenhower Theatre has a new performance entitled, Thurgood, staring Laurence Fishburne. It looks like a excellent performance, one you should definitely try to see . It will be running until the 20th so you have plenty of opportunites. Here is what the Eisenhower Theater has to say about Thurgood:
“In Thurgood, Tony Award–winning actor Laurence Fishburne reprises his Broadway role as Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to be appointed to the Supreme Court. From his early days as the civil rights lawyer who argued Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, a landmark case which led to the end of institutionalized segregation, to his appointment to the highest court in the land, Thurgood Marshall stood for justice while lifting the standing of his race.
In a fictional lecture on his life given by Thurgood Marshall at his alma mater, Howard University, Fishburne deftly shifts among characters, moving from Thurgood as a young and spirited man to a pensive Justice full of wisdom, and at times inhabiting the friends and foes that were met along the way. “Fishburne is magnetic as Marshall,” says the New York Daily News. “He captures the justice’s drive and everyday essence as well as his wry–if sometimes crass–wit.” In the end, Thurgood proves that it is possible to work within the rule of law while remaining true to the rule of the heart”
If you live in one of the many rent apartments DC and you’re looking to spend a night in the city, a night of culture, why not spend a night at the theater? For more information on Thurgood and how you can purchase tickets please visit here.
