WHO: The Ensemble Theatre is hosting a relationship forum for men and women because of its current play "That Serious He-Man Ball." This forum is FOR ADULTS ONLY. NO CHILDREN PLEASE!!

WHAT: Relationship Forum: Games Men Play (Male / Female Relationships) a public dialogue on the "spoken" and "unspoken" rules of "growing into man/hood."

Alonzo D. La Mont's THAT SERIOUS HE-MAN BALL is a play about the games men play on the basketball court, in their relationships, and with each other. How do men score in sports, and with "the women?" In a highly competitive world, where survival is not a "team sport" -- how do men score on each other?

Amid a lot of ball tossing and impressive slam - dunks, La Monts' intelligent, clever, and provocative work, dually recreates the one-on-one hustle of the court and a man's life. Director Marsha Jackson - Randolph, observes "so many men and women will identify with the games portrayed in this play. Real men don't cry 'foul'. Real men don't break! At what costs are men taught to play to win? Is it worth it? "


Davi Jay stars as Twin, the succesful businessman who drives the convertible BMW in THAT SERIOUS HE-MAN BALL written by Alonzo D. La Mont, Jr. and directed by Marsha Jackson-Randolph. THAT SERIOUS HE-MAN BALL is showing through October 17th, 2004. Call ph.713-520-0055 for tickets and reservations. Photo by Anthony Hall.
