Franklin Killian (he/him) is incredibly grateful to be on The Black Rep stage for the first time as Jason in Lynn Nottage’s play SWEAT; it is truly a pleasure to be sharing planks with these artists, speaking these words, from one of America’s most inspiring playwrights. I hope young kids, from communities of all sizes and colors, see this show, or hear it, or read about it, and know that the bond of friendship is stronger than any color or background, and we’re better people when we work together. Franklin is a writer, musician, songwriter, teaching artist, chicken farmer, carpenter, and this fall, he’s directing an outdoor, choose your own adventure-immersive theatre experience in South City. See ya after the show!
