Junebug
"Your first day in's gonna be rough..."
Hamza Zaman pens and performs the story of long term convict "Junebug" Gonzalez. A man who the world has forgotten but who hasn't forgotten the world. As he conveys the intricacies of life on the 'inside' and opens his heart to his true inner life we are questioned about our own views on redemption.
Zaman reprises the role as "Junebug", the lead from his critically acclaimed FringeNYC show "Fresh Meat". Directed by Veronica Caicedo (Teatro Circulo, The Clemente).
The Brave Artist Collective is proud to present their 2017 Inaugural season. They will present two plays in repertory, Dark Vanilla Jungle by Philip Ridley, and Junebug by Hamza Zaman. Both productions will be performed as limited engagements at the Flamboyan Theater at the Clemente Cultural Center March 14-26. This will be the Brave Artist Collectives debut NYC season.
