About A Taste of Chocolate:
“Unable to live up to his father’s expectations, Coffee, a preacher’s kid from Alabama, finds sanctuary in the world of spoken word,” according to press notes. “Beat poetry is his religion, but the true meaning of love is found in A Taste of Chocolate. Sweeter words were never spoken.”
“Timothy Ware is a new theatrical voice at a powerful juncture, where spoken word confronts faith, family and the very meanings of identity,” said Donna Trinkoff, Amas artistic producer, in a statement. ”A Taste of Chocolate challenges an entire community to sample an alternative perspective.”
