LANGSTON & NICOLAS, a new play commissioned by Towne Street Theatre and the Robey Theatre Company, will be presented at the third stop of TST On Tour!; an exciting 2009 staged reading series. Written by Bernardo Solano, LANGSTON & NICOLAS tells the true story of the forty year friendship between iconic African American writer Langston Hughes and the Cuban poet laureate Nicolas Guillen. This story of two countries, two voices, two dreams....one friendship, is told through poetry, music and dance.

TST On Tour! - a unique reading series, featuring six plays, from classic to contemporary, is "touring" to theatres throughout the City of Los Angeles. For Stop #3 we return to mid-city LA and Stage 52 - 5299 W. Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90016. Towne Street Theatre will present, one night only, the final public reading of LANGSTON & NICOLAS on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 7:00 PM. Conceived and directed by Towne Street Theatre Artistic Director, Nancy Cheryll Davis, this project is made possible in part by funding from The Ford Foundation and the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles.
