Ebony Repertory Theatre will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Broadway musical Five Guys Named Moe with a new production at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center May 18 – June 11.

Emerging from his radio, the Moes – No Moe, Little Moe, Four Eyed Moe, Eat Moe, and Big Moe – encourage Nomax through song and stories to turn his life around and tell Lorraine that he loves her. Starring Obba Babatundé, Eric B. Anthony, Trevon Davis, Rogelio Douglas, Jr., Jacques C. Smith, and Octavius Womack. www.ebonyrep.org
