 d. The Peabody Award-winning film based on Smith's Obie Award-winning solo
  stage performance of the same name was documented with multiple cameras b
 y Spike Lee in front of a live studio audience in New York. Scored by Marc
  Anthony Thompson (aka Chocolate Genius) with featured instrumentation by 
 Branford Marsalis\, the film captures the vitality of Smith's stage portra
 yal of the late Newton\, the co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Sel
 f-Defense. The New York Times describes Smith's portrayal as &ldquo\;dead-
 on &hellip\; from the reedy voice to the posture of defiance&rdquo\; and t
 he narrative (drawn mostly from the activist's writings and interviews) as
  &ldquo\;a ride through the theme park of Newton's strange life\, a life f
 ull of sound and fury.&rdquo\;\n\nStart time: begins 7pm
