A performance of the one-man play I Just Want to Tell Somebody, an adaptation of the autobiography of the same name by Ronald "Smokey" Stevens. In this theatrical production, presented in commemoration of Juneteenth, Stevens plays himself and his nemesis, D Man, to dramatize his longtime triumphant career in theater as well as a battle with drugs that was nearly his undoing.

Reception at 1 p.m. to be followed by the 2 p.m. performance and a 3:30 p.m. talk with the artist.

In partnership with Stamford NAACP and Stamford Public Schools.
