Powerhouse performer Charles S. Dutton (often called by his nickname Roc) inspired the students of Fidelity Futurestage on February 11. Dutton, who was Tony-nominated for his performances in two August Wilson plays: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and The Piano Lesson, and is famous for his Emmy-winning work in The Practice and Without a Trace. Dutton's amazing personal story includes turning his life around after he was convicted of manslaughter at the age of 17 to become the revered star he is today. He spoke to students at Martin Luther King Jr. High School about his post-prison transformation. Fidelity Futurestage is a comprehensive arts education initiative designed to bring professional theater into the classrooms of participating New York City schools created by Fidelity Investments.
