Three Kings: Q&A with Actor/Director/DJ Kofi Owusu

As people across the country celebrate Black History Month, one multitalented artist in the Washington, D.C. area is looking to impact the future of African-Americans as well. Kofi Osei Owusu has taken on the task of directing the Diversity Theatre Company’s KKK: Kings of Kulture & Kush showcase. The production will feature interviews, poetry, music, dance, and other performing arts that empower men and boys of African descent.

Owusu’s turn at the helm of Kings of Kulture & Kush is the latest item on the Howard University graduate’s resume of work. He previously directed Sins Of The Father and Bedlam in the Pulpit.
