A-Diamond Entertainment Brings #1 Urban Stage Play Man Of The House to Brooklyn

A-Diamond Entertainment is proud to announce that it will bring its acclaimed production of Man of the House – the #1 Urban Stage Play – to the legendary Billie Holiday Theatre, one of the nation’s preeminent arts and culture organizations located in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. Written, directed, and produced by award-winning playwright A’ndre Davis, this bold work takes an introspective look at the issue of domestic violence through the lens of a male abuse victim – a perspective that is often stigmatized and overlooked. First premiering to sold-out audiences at the Luna Stage Theatre in West Orange, NJ in August 2014, Man of the House has since toured the Tri-State area and beyond, earning praise for its fresh storytelling, dynamic performances, and its ability to educate while entertaining.

Featuring a talented cast to include: celebrated R&B artist and actress Monifah in the role of Kesi; comedian, actor and host C. King (Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out) in the role of Isaac; actor Trinity Whiteside (“Tyler Perry’s Sistas” and “Zatima”) in the role of Walt, and actor Cortez Smith (“The Chi”) in the role of Lawrence. Man of the House follows James (played by A’ndre Davis) and his struggle to save his relationship and, ultimately, his journey to reclaim control of his life. A compelling mix of heart, humor and hard truths, the production examines the complexities of relationships, the effects of unresolved generational trauma, and the hidden realities of male survivors of domestic violence. It also seeks to speak to audiences across generations – sparking conversation and challenging perceptions around gender, power, and abuse.
