Little Richard: I Am Everything at Harris Theater

Tue., April 11

FILM • DOWNTOWN
Little Richard: I Am Everything at Harris Theater sheds light on the origins of a rock icon, and why “Tutti Frutti” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Director Lisa Cortés tells the oft-simplified story of Richard Wayne Penniman, aka Little Richard, and the Black queer aspects of his music that were appropriated by white artists and institutions. The documentary promises to examine the racial and sexual structures throughout Richard’s life, depicting him “as a conflicted revolutionary who careened between religion, sex, and rock ’n’ roll.” 7:30 p.m. 809 Liberty Ave., Downtown. $11. trustarts.org
