You start writing a play in your late 20s when you are a struggling New York playwright, working as the literary manager of the Ensemble Studio Theater (EST) . This is your family play, a dark comedy of love, hate, prejudice, and alcohol, but you are in way over your dramatic head - the play doesn't work, so you abandon it. Then you spend a couple of decades in the Hollywood wars, writing and rewriting screenplays (and being rewritten).

Previews begin Wednesday (2/16) at 7:00pm for the world premiere of White People, a comedy by Neil Cuthbert and Neil Cuthbert, directed by Michael Barakiva, at the Ensemble Studio Theatre for an opening Thursday, February 24, at 7:00pm and a run through Sunday, March 13.
