THEATRE SMITH-GILMOUR’S
AS I LAY DYING
Friday, January 6, 2017 at 8 p.m.
Written by William Faulkner and
adapted by Michele and Dean Gilmour
with the Company
A Pay-What-You-Can performance
Voted One of the top 10 shows of 2013
by NOW Magazine.
The highly-esteemed multiple Dora Awardwinning Theatre Smith-Gilmour presents a darkly
comic tour-de-force, in an original adaptation of
the Southern gothic chronicle of the Bundren
family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside
to bury their wife and mother. A rich and
unsettling tale as each member of the family
struggles with the promise made to Addie
Bundren, revealing their foibles and secrets in
overlapping narratives chronicling the journey,
marked by flood and fire and family discord.
There aren’t any angels aboard this wagon - just
humanity, with all of its virtues and vices, beneath
an ominous halo of circling vultures.
A one man show that explores LeLand’s
personal journey to understand and
eventually transcend racism in America.
“I’m just trying to start a conversation”
- LeLand Gantt
“Can we rise above our prejudices with honest
conversation? In his tour de force one-man
show Rhapsody in Black, directed by Oscar
winner and American Theater Hall-of-Famer
Estelle Parsons, LeLand Gantt trumpets a
resounding YES.”
- Jaime Lubin, The Huffington Post
