SUCCESSION is the depiction of an aged actor, Marcus Chandler (Christian Johnson), who is self-centered around his own ego and accomplishments without regard of those who walked along side him. A younger actor-on-the-rise, Steven Harrison (Chandler Carter) tramples over his mentor Marcus, while rejecting the world of Black Theatre, in a desperate quest to reach the Broadway stage. The twists and turns in this masterpiece shows the extreme lengths an overly-ambitious actor will take to “get to the top”.
