TOTE Cinematic Theater is back!
What is Cinematic Theater?
Our unique Cinematic Theater Experience is created by blending elements from both film and theater.
Our intimate 30-seat venue allows the audience to be up close and personal with the actors. The proximity to the stage allows your eyes to become the camera, shifting focus from one moment to the next - simulating a film experience.
Couple that with our film-level detail we use to create the set, wardrobe, props, and nuance of performance, and it feels like you are watching a film live on stage!
Show Description
SUMMARY
On a subway platform in New York City, an ex-con from the South saves the life of an intellectual atheist who wasn’t looking for salvation. Now, the reformed murderer-turned-savior ventures to offer salvation of another kind, bringing the failed suicide victim back to his Harlem apartment for an articulate and moving debate about truth, fiction and belief. The two men are named Black and White, as indeed they are. White is disillusioned and disenchanted by the modern world. Black had an epiphany after a nasty knife fight in the penitentiary and discovered a faith that he now wants to share with others, or at least with White. Black begins in control, but it quickly becomes clear that the nonbeliever is much more secure in his convictions than the believer.
