Professor Lamar Performs at 2025 Fringe Festival

"Public Service Announcement" is a riveting one-man show that traces the journey of a young Black scholar navigating the fault lines of America’s political awakening. Blending raw monologue, electrifying spoken word, and original music (with anthems like "Do A Lot", "CAPITAL", and "Disparity"), this autoethnographic tour de force lays bare the intersections of systemic racism, mental health, and the illusion of criminal "justice". With unflinching honesty, Lamar the Therapist (under Reuben J. Tapp’s visionary direction) transforms personal narrative into collective reckoning, proving that art is not just protest—it is public service.

Presented by Mental Wealth Records as a part of the ESL Fringe Festival, this performance will be held Sunday 9/14 at 8pm at the MuCCC Theatre (142 Atlantic Avenue). Tickets are $15 and can be purchased through the Rochester Fringe online ticket store or on the day of the performance.
