Daniel Beaty is an award-winning actor, singer,writer, and composer whose performance of Emergency won the 2007 Obie Award for Excellence in Off-Broadway Theater. In this explosive solo tour de force featuring slam poetry, multi-character transformation, and song, Beaty portrays a cast of 40 characters who respond to the surreal emergence of a slave ship in front of the Statue of Liberty—creating a stirring commentary on what it is to be human and the longing to be free. Co-sponsored with the Office of the Academic Vice President and Dean of the Faculty, the Black Cultural Center (BCC) & African and African-American Studies (AAAS).
