Thick Description will revive its 2005 hit A Boy and His Soul, created and performed by Colman Domingo, at the Thick House, September 3-14. Tony Kelly will direct.

In this solo musical, Colman tells a moving true story of a childhood spent in Philadelphia in the 1970’s, during one of the great eras of soul music. In a home with a lot of conflict, a lot of love, and a LOT of great records, classic soul music propels Colman’s life forward. The production features set and lighting design by Rick Martin.

Domingo received an Obie Award as part of the ensemble of the Broadway musical Passing Strange. Domingo is also known for his work on LOGO’s The Big Gay Sketch Show and recently directed the Off-Broadway show Single Black Female. He will be seen in the upcoming feature film, An
Englishman in New York
, and featured in the upcoming Spike Lee
film, Miracle at St. Anna, as well as Lee’s feature film version of Passing Strange.
