Writer and performer E. Patrick Johnson stars in this new one-man exploration into the Southern black gay community. Based on Johnson's award-winning and critically acclaimed book, Sweet Tea is a fascinating and perceptive oral history inspired by the author's own personal journey. Sweet Tea explores the perceptions, angst, triumphs and vulnerabilities of this minority within a minority. With passion and insight, Johnson reinforces the spoken-word tradition while challenging stereotypes -- and finding humor, humanity and hope within.

Glad I was in the audience but there is much work to be done if this is to become something more than one person's semi-autobiographical effort to locate himself in the world. I hope it will morph into something more universal. The idea that one person writes a story that becomes very personal and then performs as the single performer in the telling of that story creates an experience that you don't come across very often.

The actor allowed those of us viewing, the spectactors, to experience, emotions in it's "rare" and raw form. Moreover, incorporating, the richness of music, spirituality, all the while taking us on his journey. Fabulously done!
