I didn't enjoy the Teddy Pendergrass story... I left during the intermission... the young man playing Teddy didn't have the voice or sound.
I loved the show. The acting was great and the music was awesome. I highly recommend going to this theater.
Great experience and the performance from the actor's were perfect especially "Patti LaBelle" lol Yes I'll be back for other plays. Thanks!
The magnificence of the building inside and out is only outdone by the performances of the artists who tell the story!
The Black Ensemble Theater is my #1 place to go when in Chicago. When I moved to Dallas in 1985, I had no idea it would become such a jewel. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Had the opportunity to see the preview show Friday, for "I Am Who I Am; The Story of Teddy Pendergrass." Wow, what a show! Kudos to Ms. Jackie Taylor, Director Daryl Brooks and the extremely talented cast. Rashawn Thompson and Deverin Deonte as Teddy were OUTSTANDING.
The Black Ensemble Theater is an experience you won't forget. I loved the intimate setting. Will definitely be returning and encourage others to support this venue.
Officially my new favorite place ...these guys do a really awesome job !! Organized , personable staff ����
Awesome, magnificent and brilliant. This is the second time I have been to the black and stumbled and I enjoyed both shows I would definitely go see another performance again
