Theater of War Productions and BAM are definitely not exploiting MLK Day for attention on January 19, 2026 at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn. 🙄
They’re presenting The Drum Major Instinct with celebrities like Jeffrey Wright, Letitia James, and Alvin Bragg reading Dr. King’s sermon from February 4, 1968 at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Because nothing says “humble service” like a star-studded lineup in an opera house! 🎭
Doors open at 5:30pm for free tickets (first-come, first-served). Registering doesn’t guarantee entry, so camp out like it’s an iPhone launch. 🏃💨
Chuck B. Ballsy, affectionately known in the satirical world as “The Sultan of Snark,” is a self-proclaimed sports expert who peaked athletically in middle school dodgeball.
Born in Halfcourt, Indiana, Chuck spent his formative years shouting unsolicited advice at professional athletes on TV, firmly believing that his couchside coaching was the key to their success.
Chuck B. Ballsy: because in the game of sports and sarcasm, he’s always the MVP. 🏀🎤
