EVOLUTION The Play
The true coming of age story of one African American male dealing with his life through songs. This motivational story uplifts the souls of both young and old. Watch how this boy evolves into a man as he struggles to find his way in a sometimes unforgiving society. The product of a “broken” home, being the bully to becoming the victim. This is the story of many others. See how he overcomes these obstacles to “STAND” and find the best in himself on the journey of success!
What People Are Saying
“Right now I'm sitting here very happy and pleased with what is taking place at the Boys & Girls Club with our teen speaker series. Tonight was the first time I got to experience for myself the teachings of Bruce Boyd in action. All I can say is, I am so glad he came and we were all blessed by the message he gave, it even brought me to tears. He dug deep and let us ALL know that in the midst of it all we must STAND and if we can, we need to help someone else to stand with us. He defined the power of self and explained how some are conditioned to believe they were meant to fail but that is not the case, they are purposed for better and can achieve it. He taught the value of knowing your name and that every time we walk out the door someone is watching and an interview is taking place. It was a great lesson.”
