“Deeper Shade of Blues,” a two-act one-man show written and performed by Joel P. E. King premiers at The Space. And, there’s still time to see it! Tonight is Saturday at 8 p.m. and tomorrow is Sunday at 6 p.m. for only a $10 admission. Just go to THE SPACE in St. Louis on 320-24 N. Vandeventer.

Joel weaves in music with the history of struggle and mining of spirit in the African American male experience throughout our history as a nation. His chameleon-changes of costume, speech, and point of view are fluid and poignant.
