Classic Caribbean Stage & Screen Series	March 2006
Trevor Rhone Festival :: Trevor Rhone - Film Fest :: Bellas Gate Boy - A Performance of a Lifetime :: When Writers Speak - Trevor Rhone, Collin Channer; Glenville Lovell :: Info & Tickets
Greetings An expanded Classic Caribbean Stage and Screen Series pays homage to the groundbreaking work of Jamaican writer, producer, director, and actor Trevor D. Rhone. Best know in the United States for co-writing the internationally acclaimed film The Harder They Come, his 40+ year career in cultural arts has been the backbone of Jamaica’s indigenous film and theatre industry. To properly appreciate the facets of this multi- disciplinary writer, the series kicks off with a look at his film work, moves on to a session Caribbean writing for the ear and eye with acclaimed Caribbean-American writers Collin Channer and Glenville Lovell, and ends with Mr. Rhone performing in his witty yet poignant look at his life as county boy making good!
