A rags-to-riches hip-hop journey, this new comedy roasts America’s racist past, wrestles America’s racist present, and explodes America’s post-racial future — where what’s at stake, for those deemed less-than-human, is the fate of humanity itself." Written by Dave Harris Directed by Taylor Reynolds When: January 19 - February 27 Where: Mainstage Theater at Playwrights Horizons |
