Up Next! 'Real Talk' Big G Artists Agency: Harold Ellis Clark, Saturday, November 5; “Abandonment” theme in play Tour Detour impresses veteran Hollywood actor Harold Sylvester
NEW ORLEANS, LA—Veteran Hollywood actor, writer and producer Harold Sylvester will star in the world premiere of Tour Detour, a play written by award-winning playwright Harold Ellis Clark, during a six-performances-only-run, Nov ember 11-20, 2016 at the Ashè Power House Theatre, 1731 Baronne Street in New Orleans, LA. The play, a co-production between Ashè Cultural Arts Center and HEC Communications, also stars acclaimed stage actor Kenneth Brown, Jr. Award-winning theatrical director John Grimsley will direct the production.
Tour Detour surrounds a son, who prior to traveling to Afghanistan for his fourth tour of duty as a U.S. Air Force explosives ordnance technician, visits his father, who’s serving a life sentence at a central Louisiana prison. They haven’t seen each other in more than 20 years.
“As it lays on the page, unproduced, Tour Detour seems to be about what might happen, to all involved, when fathers separate from mothers and children. But, as we start down the trail of discovery, it is becoming apparent that Harold Ellis Clark has written a play that demonstrates that separation, even from those you love, may be a part of the natural order. And, that we all have the ability to abandon one another without ever leaving the room,” said Sylvester.
For several seasons, Sylvester, a graduate of both Tulane University and St. Augustine High School (Kenneth Brown, Jr.’s also a St. Aug grad), starred as “Griff” on FOX-TV’s Married with Children, and in the classic film An Officer and a Gentlemen, starring Richard Gere. Sylvester’s other acting credits include CSI: Miami (CBS-TV), Cold Case (CBS-TV), NYPD Blue (ABC-TV), A Different World (NBC-TV and Hill Street Blues (NBC-TV).
As a screenwriter, Sylvester penned scripts for NYPD Blue, and the critically acclaimed TNT movie Passing Glory, starring Andre Braugher (FOX-TV’s Brooklyn Nine Nine). Tickets for Tour Detour are available now at www.ashecac.org. For more information, please call 504-569-9070 or 504-957-2 743.
