The Fountain Theatre presents the West Coast premiere of a timely and timeless theatrical journey. J. Alphonse Nicholson (Broadway's Tony award-winning A Soldier's Play; co-star P-Valley on Starz; Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone) reprises his off-Broadway, tour-de-force star turn as five versions of an African American everyman who travels through time in different incarnations, including a 19th Century minstrel, a faith healer, an FBI informant, a struggling actor and an out-of-work mortgage broker. In each life, Abel is guided, distracted, helped or hindered by a handful of characters with whom his destiny is forever intertwined. We meet each new iteration of Abel Green on a train, which changes in appearance in accordance with each time period and serves as a link between dimensions. Nov. 9 – Dec. 16; Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Ave. (at Normandie), Los Angeles, CA 90029; $25-$45; Pay-What-You-Want every Monday (subject to availability); (323) 663-1525; https://www.FountainTheatre.com/events/freight.

• Saturdays at 8 p.m.
• Sundays at 2 p.m. (dark Nov. 12)

News About Freight: The Five Incarnations of Abel Green at The Fountain Theatre
Review: FREIGHT at Fountain Theatre
November 29, 2023Per playwright Howard L. Craft, the spirit of the human soul has the capacity to return to earth multiple times until it successfully learns…well…whatever it is supposed to learn. Can’t speak for the soul, but the performer J. Alphonse Nicholson needs no do-overs to embody the five incarnations of Abel Green within Craft’s play FREIGHT. Simply put, Nicholson nails each Green ably, in every possible way. Completely.
