Omar Sangare presents "True Theatre Critic," an internationally acclaimed solo performance about a man suffering from exuberance of ambition. Dr. Sangare's powerful stage presence mixed with his ability to be at once grotesque and poetic draws us in for a tour de force evening. We begin with a man defeated who through his sorrow and anger finds sweet revenge in criticizing those who have rejected him time and again. As "True Theater Critic" comes to its crescendo we see his ironic sense of humor in his journey towards acceptance by those he once respected.
