2 Male 1 Female
What does it mean for any American to live in a country that is not the one you were promised?
White People is a controversial and darkly funny play about the lives of three ordinary Americans placed under the spot-light ...
Martin, a Brooklynborn high powered attorney for a white-shoe law firm in St. Louis
Mara Lynn, a housewife and former home-coming queen in Fayetteville
And Alan, a young professor struggling to find his way in New York City
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 American culture
"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
"... 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
