#UPFRONT featuring the casts of ‘The Chi,’ ‘Black Lightning’ and ‘King Hedley II’ (AUDIO)

Written by | Ray Cornelius

Check out Saturday’s edition of my radio program UPFRONT featuring the cast of Kenny Leon’s True Colors production of King Hedley II. The show is playing now through March 11 at the Southwest Arts Center and features Neal Ghant, Tonia Jackson, Eugene Russell IV, Tiffany Denise Hobbs, Eddie Bradley Jr. and The Quad‘s E. Roger Mitchell. King Hedley II is directed by Jamil Jude.

The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) recently held its annual aTVfest and UPFRONT was there to capture some exclusive interviews with the cast of Showtime’s breakout series The Chi.

Yolonda Ross, Jacob Latimore and Tiffany Boone opened up about their roles, show creator Lena Waithe and much more.

Closing out the show were my interviews with the cast of CW’s new hit series Black Lightning. I got a chance to chat with actors Cress Williams, Nafessa Williams, Marvin “Krondon” Jones III, James Remar and show creator Salim Akil.

I also played some throwback sounds from Maxwell, Shirley Horn and Sara Devine throughout the show.
