Later he would contribute to several TV shows, including Sanford and Son and Good Times, before becoming the head writer on In Living Color. His influence continues through his celebrated work on Chappelle's Show and BET specials. Please see the full event description for upcoming show information. Learn More

Written on Aug 28 2012Very positive and powerful in a variety of ways including the message of non-violence, the venue itself and, of course, the musicians including Ms. Faye Carol.

Written on Aug 27 2012The music was fabulous! The singer did some unusual music which I found great. The combo accompanying the singer was wonderful as well. The venue....warm welcoming people at the door. They served food with the price of the ticket. Sadly, the crowd was small for the 9:00 performance! The 7:00 o'lcock performance had a larger crowd. My friend and I attend a Blues Club in Chicago in May and found the music at Black Repertory much better quality.

Written on Aug 27 2012While it took a few songs for everyone to groove together, in the end, Ms Faye hit her stride to show that she is indeed a valued presence in our Bay Area jazz scene.
This theater group apparently fosters programs that reach out to underprivileged groups in the neighborhood and should be recognized and supported by more. We should all contribute to those who help others, and one way would be to attend more of their events.
