Listen to me, cousins. I don’t like a man thinking only about today – or, even worse, yesterday, some glory days sports foolishness. I like the grinder getting on for tomorrow and next year and on down the road to success.
Here’s one. Gregory Carr. Dude has, I don’t know, three jobs and still writes plays, acts in plays and contributes to this newspaper. He ain’t waiting for it to come to him. He’s going to it, every day.
You want to support a grinder and maybe be entertained and learn something doing it, then go check Greg’s play A Colored Funeral. It opens at 7 p.m. Friday, May 20 in the multipurpose theater in Building D of the East St. Louis Higher Education Campus, 601 James R. Thompson Blvd. In the play, this black man who works so hard on life takes a look at how we die. But you had better expect a positive message out of a Greg Carr play.
