Esteemed actor, writer, producer, and director Kareem M. Lucas is set to premiere his latest autobiographical monologue, “A Warm Winter,” at the Race Brook Lodge on April 20.

Lucas has captivated audiences with his Spalding Gray-esque offerings  at renowned venues like The Public Theater, Cherry Lane, New York Theatre Workshop, American Repertory Theater and Wooly Mammoth. He continues to push the boundaries of solo performance with his new work. A WARM WINTER which was workshopped at the Bric Arts in 2021 .

WINTER  builds on his legacy: part confession, part standup, part sermon. The story unfolds in a nightmarish drug episode that spirals into a revelatory journey. What results is an immersive exploration of personal crisis, redemption, and the human spirit. True griot style storytelling that is stripped down to the barest essentials and radiates a theater practice that draws its audience into a poetic trance.

“Disruptive and real, [Lucas’] combination of starkness and lyricism brims with barely contained passion and desire. A hurricane.” - Stage Buddy
