 In 1918, a street performer mesmerizes the crowd and a minstrel act is born. In 1976, a soul singer signs a three album record contract that will make him a star. In 1989, a boxer fights the bout that will determine his destiny as champ or contender. This is the story of Entertainer's Eulogy, a theatrical requiem, chronicling the rise and fall of the African American entertainer. A cautionary tale on the price of fame and showbiz, and the people whose lives are forever changed by it.
