Paul Robeson, The Tallest Tree in the Forest
by Daniel Beaty
Journey through the life of one of the most dynamic figures in American History. A scholar, athlete, activist, vocalist, and actor of stage and screen, Paul Robeson rose to the heights of fame. He saw it all crumble during the McCarthy Area as questions of his Communist involvement arose. Discover the evolution of this artist/activist, his courage, his contradictions, and why many call him the Tallest Tree in the Forest.
Creativity Fund offers playwrights the opportunity to workshop new plays or musicals for up to five days.
