Welcome to the Towne Street Theatre, L.A.'s Premiere African-American Theater Company, now celebrating 15 years of theatre in Los Angeles!  Our mission is producing and developing original works by Los Angeles playwrights that are reflective of the African-American experience.

Are you ready for some more great theater from TST? Be sure to mark your calendar and come out early for another unique TST theater experience.

From our Black Classics series, we are proud to present Steve Carter's Nevis Mountain Dew, which was originally produced by the Negro Ensemble Company.  Join the Philibert family as they celebrate the patriarch’s 50th birthday and watch the sparks fly as everyone drinks the infamous rum from the island of Nevis. Secrets are exposed, love is declared and family tensions mount in this eloquent, frequently funny, play set in 1954 Queens.

Dan Martin, Sammie Wayne IV, Nancy Renee, Veronica Thompson, Teressa Taylor, Michael C. Patterson, Shon Fuller, Mark V. Jones and Freddie DeGrate

Dear Labbies,

I so rarely do this because well. . . I so rarely (hate to say it) see amazingly noteworthy theatre!

I saw this show last night and was really blown away by the high production values (no duct tape anywhere), the acting - touchingly poignant, the direction- wonderful and the script-AMAZING! !! This is an undiscovered gem that hasn't even had a Broadway run even though it is as powerful as many Pulitzer winners.

So many times in the past years I wish I was able to get back hours watching theatre that was sub-par. This is NOT one of those times. This is truly a wonderful piece of theater at ANY price!! Believe me it is so worth seeing.

So please if you want to once again have yourself inspired see "Nevis Mountain Dew". It will be well worth your time and may just keep a few quality artists around in theatre just a bit longer.

Sincerely,

I hadn't seen this play before nor read the script so it was a "hoot" for me--very nicely done--kudos to U & your crew/Nancy R & all the actors were great--thank you for extending the courtesy--that is always much appreciated--theatre in LA takes all sorts of efforts of shear will...Thanks for moment/s.
