This spring, the towering Laurence Fishburne brings the words, wit and wisdom of one of America’s greatest heroes to life in THURGOOD, George Stevens, Jr.’s powerful new play, directed by Leonard Foglia.
Thurgood Marshall rose from the backstreets of Baltimore to the Supreme Court of the United States, overcoming whatever obstacles society placed in his way. THURGOOD is his remarkable story, a triumph of courage -- not just for the man, but for the nation he bravely challenged and proudly served.
Laurence Fishburne is a Tony Award® winner, a Drama Desk Award winner, an Outer Critics Circle Award winner, an Emmy Award winner, an Academy Award® nominee and the recipient of a Theatre World Award. His performances have been deemed “brilliant,” “riveting” and “electrifying” by The New York Times. Perhaps best known to movie audiences for his performances in the blockbuster “The Matrix” series, Fishburne has also starred in such films as “Mission Impossible 3,” “Bobby,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” and “Boyz in the Hood,” among many others.
