'I asked god and the universe that my next endeavor be something different and something far outside of my comfort zone to help me better myself as an artist. Then, this opportunity came along.' - LukeJames on his new play 'Thoughts of a Colored Man'
, which was just renewed for a fifth season. But rather than reveling in his many successes, James is bringing his talents to Broadway’s Golden Theatre in the new play, which opened late last month. The play, which runs through March, tells the story of seven Black men living in the heart of Brooklyn through a deft blend of spoken word, slam poetry, and plenty of dry humor.
JAMES: Yeah, and I find it to be so beautiful and easy, if I can use that word. My first impression, just from WAITHE: Oftentimes, it’s a Black man saying “Hey Lena, I want to see more positive images of Black men on TV.” And I always wonder, do you reflect what you want to see? Are you what we would call a positive image of a Black man?WAITHE: What are you really asking for? Because if we have characters that are perfect and aren’t flawed, then wouldn’t they be boring? Would you even watch?is not escapism—I think it’s a mirror, and it can sometimes be hard to look at yourself. I resonate with that.
JAMES: Yes. And we’re not looking for applause, we’re in the present. If you stay in the present, then whatever happens is what’s supposed to happen. And then down the line, you look back at and say, “Oh my god, that was monumental.” So this experience has been outstanding and I’m so grateful to be in it. As an artist, I feel so strong right now.
