The open-ended engagement will begin July 21 at the Actors Temple Theater.

Fried Chicken and Latkes is Pryor's award-winning solo show based on her life. "It is an irreverent and poignant look at racism in the late 60’s early 70’s," according to press notes. Pryor wrote and created her show, which includes some of her own original music and lyrics.

Rain Pryor is an acclaimed director, actor, stand-up comedian, educator, dynamic speaker, mother and artistic director of the Strand Theater in Baltimore.

She made her television debut in 1989 as a series regular, T.J., on the hit ABC series “Head of the Class." Pryor starred for several years opposite Sherilyn Fenn and Lynn Redgrave, as Jackie, the lipstick lesbian drug addict on the Showtime series “Rude Awakening,” and has additionally guest-starred on network television series such as “The Division” and “Chicago Hope.”

Pryor's stage credits include playing the title role of Billie Holiday in the UK tour of The Billie Holiday Story and the title role of Ella Fitzgerald in the UK premiere of Ella, Meet Marilyn.
