Love conquers all
‘Chicken and Biscuits’ director serves up flavor with a side of love for Uptown Players RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Director Akin Babatunde is renowned in the local theater world — and beyond.
Here, he has already established himself as a premiere director with acclaimed shows at Undermain Theatre, Dallas Theater Center and Stage West.
But this week marks a first for Babatunde: “This is my first show with Uptown Players,” he said. Exciting sounding in his voice, he continued, “I’ve always known and respected their work.
And the respect they have given me has been just wonderful.” Babatunde is not only making his debut at Uptown Players, he’s directing the company’s closing show of the season, which happens to be the regional premiere of Douglas Lyons’ comedy Chicken and Biscuits.
