Before the world knew his name, James Baldwin stood at a crossroads—with a one-way ticket to Paris, $40 in his pocket, and the courage to walk away from the only home he knew.

In this gripping solo performance, actor James Alton brings to life the pivotal moment that launched Baldwin’s journey to becoming one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century.

Citizen James is a moving tribute to Baldwin’s brilliance and a timely reflection on the legacy of truth, justice, and artistic freedom.
