“To have a production that is done on such a high caliber, high quality level, that you feel like you’re not watching someone become Dick Gregory, you are watching Dick Gregory. And my Dad felt that. We saw it together. I’ve seen the production before my Dad passed and after he passed. With him and without him, he comes to life on the stage. I’m just excited to share this gift with D.C. Right before your eyes, you can see where the passion and fire came from. My Dad’s life wrote TURN ME LOOSE. [Playwright] Gretchen Law was able to take my Dad’s life and depict it… in the most breathtakingly, passionate of ways. It bowls you over. John [Gould Rubin] – what a marvelous director – he has put so much passion into this. This story will be here for generations to come to experience what it is Dick Gregory left us all with.”
— Christian Gregory, son of Dick Gregory
