August Wilson Center in partnership with HI-ARTS presents Harlem to Hollywood. Malik Yoba's Harlem To Hollywood is designed as an immersive multimedia theatrical experience that brings audiences up close and personal into the life of one of Hollywood's most enduring talents over the last 25 years. This tour de force one-man show displays Yoba's masterful embodiment of more than a dozen engaging and colorful characters with stunning accuracy and humor. Harlem to Hollywood is the opus Yoba has worked on his entire life to share. Set in a therapist's office, Yoba uses his words and music to explore themes of family, career, personal relationships, mental health, and self-acceptance. Yoba delivers an honest, and transparent look into his journey from Harlem to Hollywood, and celebrates those who influenced him along the way.
