The Diary Of Black Men at Taft Theatre

The Diary Of Black Men

An experience that's more than simply theatre, meet the men you know and uncover the truths you don't with a movement that has electrified audiences for over four decades. The Diary of Black Men isn't just the longest-running African American stage play in history; it's a cultural phenomenon. Written by Thomas Meloncon and directed by Danny Hodges, The Diary of Black Men is a reflection of the conversations our communities have been having for generations about the raw realities of being a Black man in America. First penned in the late '70s and continuously updated to stay relevant, it's as timely now as its debut.
