RACE at The Laboratory Theater of Florida, directed by Sonya McCarter, tells the story of two lawyers and a new young attorney in their office as they try to decide if they should take on a man accused of a racially charged sexual assault as a client.

On June 19, 2020 SF Recovery Theatre, still deep in the throes of COVID-19 Pandemic, will continue their mission to bring the truth to the people via their unique drama medium. SFRT feels that in this poignant place in time of collective self awareness, it's only right to open up space to see, feel, experience, and discuss the racial pandemic. 

On February 22, TheatreWorks New Milford will premiere David Mamet's controversial and provocative drama, Race. 

Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet tackles America's most controversial topic in a provocative tale of sex, guilt, and bold accusations. Two lawyers find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman. When a female legal assistant gets involved in the case, the opinions that boil beneath explode to the surface. When David Mamet (Pulitzer Prize winning author of Glengarry Glenn Ross), turns the spotlight on what we think but can't say, dangerous truths are revealed, and no punches are pulled.

Lance Carter talks about his role in RACE, and what it's like tackling the work of David Mamet.

RACE, presented by the Georgia Southern University Theatre and Performance program, explores the heated issue of discrimination from multiple perspectives, with an emphasis, not surprisingly, on racism.

Race opens tonight, May 9 and runs through June 8 at the Omaha Community Playhouse.

Race, David Mamet's incendiary exploration of truth and lies provoked by racial identity and expectation, has just completed its first week at Trustus Side Door Theatre, in collaboration with the NiA Company. Happily for Columbia audiences, it runs for another week, allowing continued opportunity for this production to provoke and bestir. Staged here in the small, spare environment of a black box theatre, Race is a decidedly adult drama underscored by barbed wit and suspense, and its enforced intimate setting creates a hothouse urgency that literally does not allow one to look away. Attention, as has been famously said in other theatre contexts, must be paid.

David Mamet's Race is a complex piece that explores the very subject matter for which it is titled. The NiA Company collaborates with Trustus Theatre to bring this sharp and daring script to life in the Capital City this spring. Race opens in the Richard and Debbie Cohn Trustus Side Door Theatre April 10th at 8:00pm, and runs through April 19th, 2014.

Modern-day questions of race are examined with unflinching honesty in David Mamet's play Race, now playing at Ocean State Theatre Company. Mamet, one of the most prolific writers working today, has written numerous plays, screenplays and television shows. He is known for, among other things, his fast-paced, rapid-fire dialogue and his talent for stripping away the layers of politeness and political correctness to get down to the dirty, brutal truth beneath the surface. Race doesn't just get under the skin of our society's racial issues, it gets into the very marrow of the bone.
