Poor-ducing Theatre & Film at Black Spectrum

Poor-ducing is the memoir of Carl Clay and his journey towards the creation of an African American Theatre institution in Southeast Queens N.Y from 1970-2009. What the heck is a Poor-ducer? Poor-ducing: to dream & imagine with near delusionary belief: To lead and function with inadequate resources: To adapt: to over-come impossible obstacles: to bring to market and\or create plays, films, concerts, poetry, while stretching pennies and materials to their absolute outer limits: to effectively bring into being something with nothing, day in and day out. Poor-ducer: to do with less knowing your artistic counterparts have the luxury of doing it with triple the resources that you have. Poor-duce: to squeeze water from a rock while borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
