Levy Lee is in New York during the roaring 80s and finally getting his big start in theatre. After narrowly getting re-accepted into the 127th Street Repertory, Levy Lee is tasked with one of the most nerve-racking challenges of his career, playing Walter Lee in Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun at the famed Apollo theatre, a notoriously harsh environment to perform in.
