I didn’t think anything could top the exhilarating high
of 2026’s election night results, but it turned out I was wrong. Michael
Anthony Tatmon’s performance as Thurgood Marshall in George
Stevens Jr.’s THURGOOD soars to heights unknown.
The life of civil
rights activist and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall is full of
extraordinary triumphs and traumatic tribulations. The fact that a black man
managed to accomplish so much while fighting the strong arm of racism almost
reads like science fiction. Put that biography into the storytelling mastery of
Tatmon under the sharp direction of Prodan Dimov, and you are
fortunate to witness an inspirational and captivating work of art.
This one-night performance is part of the United Solo Theatre Festival and launches the THURGOOD Justice Tour. Check it out at @thurgoodthetour and track it down. It’s worth the trip!
