Presented by Broward Center and Art Prevails Project The Happening: A Theatrical Mixtape, Volume IV: Black Like He is a tapestry that explores the intricacies of life from the unique lens of Black men. Through simple moments and complex emotions, universal humanity is revealed and woven together with poetry, music, and dance. Written and directed by Daughtry, Founder of Art Prevails Project, and features some of South Florida’s finest talent. “The Happening: A Theatrical Mixtape, Volume IV: Black Like He is a journey filled with joy, struggle, love, and truth.
“Contrary to popular belief and narratives, Black men are not a monolith. While there are shared experiences, there is a diversity of perspectives as well. This production aims to explore those experiences and perspectives while leaving room for the many other voices that exist,” said Daughtry.
