The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Presents
Rhapsody in Black
Written and Performed by LeLand Gantt with Directorial Consultant Estelle Parsons

A special presentation for Black History Month.  

Written and performed by LeLand Gantt and developed at NYC’s Actors Studio by Oscar winner Estelle Parsons, Rhapsody in Black is a one man show that explores Gantt’s personal journey to understand and eventually transcend racism in America.

We follow his spellbinding life story -- from an underprivileged childhood in the ghettos of McKeesport, PA to teenage experiments with crime and drugs to scholastic achievement and an acting career that lands adult LeLand in situations where he is virtually the only African-American in the room. “Charming, self-deprecatingly funny and linguistically awesome.” HuffPost
