André De Shields

At eighty Earth years, André De Shields has distinguished himself as an unparalleled actor/activist, educator, iconic philanthropist and Broadway Deity. His manifold mission: to fill intimate spaces with enormous beauty. He defines intimate spaces as the hearts of humanity; to restore majesty, elegance and literacy to the Black Thespian’s toolbox; to advocate for long term survivors of HIV and AIDS, and to champion the legacy of the Wellderly (elderly individuals who continue to kick butt). Ultimate goal: to break the Methuselah Code, and to burnish his reputation as one of the ten wonders of the contemporary world. SAWUBONA! www.goatman.vip
