Between Riverside, Justice, and Storytelling: A Conversation with François Battiste
This episode of Full Circle Men on the Move was a dynamic and powerful conversation with actor and director François Battiste.
We began with Between Riverside and Crazy, the latest production at Celebration Arts (October 3–19), and explored its themes of resilience, housing, and family struggle. But our discussion went far beyond the play. François shared his remarkable career highlights on stage and television, and we bonded over our mutual love of the theatre.
A passionate advocate for justice, François also reflected on the recent attacks on free speech, the importance of telling our own stories, and the urgent need to recognize and preserve history in the face of current efforts to erase Black history and culture.
He also shared about life as a proud father of three, including his son’s upcoming starring role in a new Apple TV series, and spoke about the family support system he’s found here in Sacramento that helps keep him grounded.
This was an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation you don’t want to miss.
Call to Action:
Between Riverside and Crazy runs October 3–19 at Celebration Arts in Sacramento. Tickets are on sale now at celebrationarts.net. Don’t wait—just like every Celebration Arts production, this show will sell out.
