You may recognize Marcus Henderson from his unforgettable performance as Walter the groundskeeper in Get Out, the satirical horror film that crushed box office records and sparked a national conversation on race relations in the United States. Prior to landing this standout role in one of the most talked about films in recent memory, Henderson built a solid acting resume spanning theater, television, and other critically acclaimed films, such as Django Unchained and Whiplash. Originally from Jennings, Missouri, Henderson became involved in the theater scene at Alabama State University, and went on to earn an MFA in acting from the Yale School of Drama. He’s now based in Los Angeles, where he recently performed in the world premiere of Good Grief at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. We’re thrilled to meet up with Marcus Henderson on theatre corner at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City to talk about his unstoppable career, and the hard work and passion that made it all possible.

Dominique Morisseau is a prominent force in the American theater scene whose work is bringing the richness and complexity of the African American experience into the spotlight. Morisseau got her start as a performance poet in her hometown of Detroit, and began writing while she was studying acting at the University of Michigan. Her writing career flourished after moving to New York City, and she is now one of America’s most-produced playwrights with a rapidly expanding list of prestigious awards, honors, and fellowships to her name. Morisseau is Co-Producer for the hit Showtime series, Shameless, and has written a substantial body of plays, including her award-winning trilogy, “The Detroit Project.” The first play, Detroit ‘67 takes place during the riots and rebellion of 1967; the second, Paradise Blue, explores the city’s jazz community in 1949. The third play, Skeleton Crew, focuses on a group of auto plant workers during the Great Recession of 2008. Theater Corner is honored to welcome the exceptionally talented and accomplished Dominique Morisseau to talk about art, activism, and the power of community.

Hal Linden is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor, singer, musician, and all around class- act whose prolific career has spanned television, film, the stage, and the recording studio. Among his many memorable roles on the big and small screens, it was his award-winning portrayal of the police precinct captain Barney Miller in the hit ABC TV series that made him a household name. Linden has also appeared in more than 20 Broadway and Off Broadway productions, and received widespread critical acclaim for his cabaret-style variety show that he tours nationally. Although his career has spanned more than 65 years, Linden is not even close to slowing down. He performed in the Old Globe’s record-breaking revival of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, and is in San Diego to film a light-hearted drama, The Samuel Project. Today on Theater Corner, we’re fortunate to catch this show business legend between takes to ask him a few questions about his distinguished career and lifelong love for the arts.
