Long before Harry Belafonte won global fame as a performer, he saw himself as an activist. Many people know little about his life’s journey and commitment to the civil rights movement.

Actor Austen Jaye is bringing Belafonte’s story to light in a one-man play titled Belafonte Unauthorized.

The play runs on Saturday, July 13 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the Hudson Theater on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood.

Tickets range from $30 to $45.
