"COUNTY OF KINGS" TO BE PRESENTED BY SPIKE LEE


Spike Lee has signed on as one of the presenters of "County of Kings," the solo show penned and performed by Lemon Andersen and beginning performances at Off Broadway's Public Theater later this month.

The one-man stage memoir by Brooklyn hip-hop artist Andersen ("Def Poetry Jam" on Broadway) was first seen at the Public last year as part of the Under the Radar Fest. Elise Thoron directs.

Lee joins the Culture Project, Steve Colman, Jayson Jackson and Tom Wirtshafter as producers of the show, presented in association with the Public and the American Place Theater.
