| White People by J. T. Rogers |
| Now-right now-what does it mean to be white in America? “What are white people thinking when they smile so politely? Mara Lynn, Martin, and Alan are perfectly normal people on the surface, the kind you meet every day. But as they casually talk about their lives, they disclose, layer by layer, the racial fears and paranoia which lie behind their facades. By turns hilarious and harrowing, White People breaks one of America’s most taboo subjects wide open for discussion." Through heart-wrenching confessions, they wrestle with guilt, prejudice, and the price they and their children must pay for their actions. White People is a candid, brutally honest meditation on race and language in our culture. |
| Now Playing June 12 - July 6 |
| With Austin B. Iden Payne award winner's Wray Crawford, Breanna Stogner, and Charles P. Stites In brutally honest confessions that eat through protective layers like acid from a battery…the piece never strikes a false note…Rare plays like this one help lift the veil.” —LA Times. “WHITE PEOPLE is remarkable. The play seems less written than merely transcribed; there’s not one false turn of phrase in it.” —Philadelphia Inquirer. “This play by J.T. Rogers is a sobering, unsettling but deeply rewarding look at a combustible issue many of us prefer to sidestep…WHITE PEOPLE is not easy to sit through. It raises questions as it challenges our assumptions about race.” —Salt Lake Tribune. |
