Honoring Black Music in American Theatre with Lee Summers

Send a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) In this episode of KeyBARD, Thembi sits down with Broadway veteran, writer, composer, director, and educator Lee Summers (https://leesummersshows.com/) for a powerful conversation about artistry, legacy, Black music, and intellectual property. Lee made his Broadway debut in the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls, where he began studying what he calls “actor-proof” storytelling, which he describes as work that withstands changing casts and changing times. That early experience shaped a decades-long career spanning performance, writing, directing, and teaching. His work highlights many genres of Black music, through his off-Broadway musical From My Hometown (https://leesummersshows.com/portfolio...) (now licensed across the U.S. and Canada -- bring it to your town!) to his funk-driven Broadway-bound project The Funkentine Rapture (https://leesummersshows.com/portfolio...) , to his tribute to Ella Fitzgerald (https://leesummersshows.com/portfolio...) , and so many more exciting projects. He is also the creator of the album Soulriginals (https://open.spotify.com/album/6Iv4FN...) , a celebration of classic soul that reflects the musical DNA woven throughout his theatrical work. • Learn more about Lee Summers and his work at his website (https://leesummersshows.com/) • Take a look at The Funkentine Rapture (https://leesummersshows.com/portfolio...)   • Check out his album Soulriginals (https://open.spotify.com/album/6Iv4FN...) • Follow Lee Summers on Instagram (  / leesummers2  ) KeyBARD is produced, written, and hosted by Thembi Duncan (https://thembiduncan.com/) , a theater artist, educator, and tech enthusiast exploring the intersections of art, education, and technology through conversations with creative thinkers.
