The Illinois Central College Guest Artists Series presents Incognito, an autobiographical one-man show by Michael Fosberg about his personal journey for self-discovery, on January 20 at 7:30 pm in the ICC Performing Arts Center in East Peoria.
       At the age of 34, Fosberg began a quest to find his biological father. Along the way, he uncovered surprising information that forever changed the dynamics of his family. Armed only with the name of his father and the knowledge that he had lived in the Detroit area two decades earlier, Fosberg makes a phone call which starts to uncover long-concealed family secrets. Incognito is the resulting true-life account of Fosberg’s emotion-packed experience which touches on themes of race, diversity, identity, stereotyping and family history.
       Fosberg, a Chicago native, has been writing, acting and directing for more than 20 years. He has performed in Chicago at Steppenwolf Theatre, Remains Theatre, Wisdom Bridge Theatre, the Goodman Theatre, and the Huron Theatre Ensemble, of which he was a co-founder. He has worked with directors Gary Sinise, John Malkovich and Robert Falls. Fosberg received a Jeff Citation for Best Actor for his performance in “Savage Love” by Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin.
       Following the performance, Fosberg will conduct a question-and-answer session with audience members.
       Peoria Branch NAACP is the highlighted Community Partner for this ICC Guest Artists Series performance.
       Tickets cost $16 for adults and $14 for students and senior citizens.
