LEMON

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20 @ 8:00PM

When Lemon Andersen held a Tony Award in his hands for his work in Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, it was close to a miracle. This poet and performer was a three-time felon who’d achieved more than anyone could have ever imagined. But when the show closed, he lost everything and moved his wife and two small daughters back to the projects. In desperation, he turned to the only thing he had left — his pen and his past. Lemon follows his journey to take his life story to the New York stage while battling his darkest demons. Lemonwas co-produced and directed by Laura Brownson and Beth Levison.
