In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat 

Written and Performed by Roger Guenveur Smith

Roger and Jean-Michel Basquiat befriended each other in Los Angeles, Basquiat painting in a Venice studio while Smith was rapping in the fertile 1980's club scene as "Hollywatts".

Throughout the decade, Smith's politically charged soliloquies found their way onto Basquiat's canvas and he eventually created "Smiley", the Basquiat-inspired artist/arsonist for Spike Lee's classic Do the Right Thing. 

This stunning new solo performance honors their shared legacy and will inaugurate Outside In Theatre's newly constructed mainstage in Highland Park.  

Performances: October 16 - November 9, 2025

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays at 8PM

Live Sound design by Marc Anthony Thompson

GUAC is a fearless, funny, and deeply moving theatrical tour-de-force about a father turned activist. Seven years after his son Joaquín "Guac" Oliver was killed in the Parkland shooting, Manuel Oliver channels his love, loss, and rage into a powerful force for change. From pepperoni bacon pizza to air guitar solos, Oliver paints a vivid, unforgettable portrait of a vibrant life cut short—and a father’s relentless fight for a better future. Both a celebration and a rallying cry, GUAC pulls zero punches and speaks to anyone who has ever loved, lost, or dreamed of making a difference.
