What's Up With That Brother? IronE Singleton: One Man’s Story Becomes a One Man Show (4644 hits)
One had to be iron tough to come through Atlanta’s 30318. In the 60’s, it was a then small town Atlanta pocket neighborhood, a stone’s throw from downtown. It’s where the city of Atlanta decided to build what would become some of ATL’s most notorious and impoverished housing projects. The zip code 30318, for 30 years was thought to be the zip code to fill Georgia’s jail and prison system. Iron tough is about to be defined on stage in Atlanta.
Around the world, most have heard about the zip code mixed with hip hop beats from Atlanta’s music industry taunting street cred from growing up in and around Bankhead Highway, Perry Boulevard, and Hollywood Road. Today, the city can’t wait to tear down the remaining concrete jungle to create Atlanta’s hottest address on the west side. Though names may change, its history remains the same, played out at the top of the music charts and now coming to the stage.
IronE Singleton is bringing the trials and triumphs of 30318 to the stage. He will star in an original one man show depicting life of Atlanta’s inner-city in IronE The Resurrected, August 20th - 24th, 2008, at the 14th Street Playhouse in Atlanta, GA.
