Every Dog Has His DayLocal Playwright Dana S. Hubbard brings Latest Play to Premier in Hometown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A native of Newport News and another great product of Virginia's talent, Dana Hubbard returned to his hometown from New York to premier his latest project, "Every Dog Has His Day," a stage play based on his debut novel. The play illustrates the story of a man blessed with the God-given talent to sing, but who is caught up by living a life of greed and arrogance instead of faith and understanding. Downing-Gross was proud to be a part of this "homecoming" and was able to provide the cast with a place to convene, rehearse, and be inspired.
His film credits include "Mo Better Blues," "Will A Man Rob God?," "A Woman Like That," and his work with Spike Lee on "Do the Right Thing" among many others. What is truly unique, despite all of his accomplishments, is that Hubbard has never forgotten where he came from. "Every Dog Has His Day" was showcased at his old Alma-mater, Hampton University. Keep an eye out for this rising playwright and be sure to support his upcoming projects.
It's good to see that we can support homegrown talent. Can't wait to see what's next.
ReplyDeleteThe play was pretty good and supporting homegrown talent is a given. However, I thought it was toooooo LONG. I applaud his efforts even enjoyed the book. Not sure if I am Dana Hubbards biggest fan when it comes to plays sadly enough.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see people coming back to their roots. The Hampton Roads area is full of talent!!! I agree with you, Jeri, I can't wait to see what is next. Big Ups to Dana S. Hubbard!!!
