NEIGHBORS is an outrageous and hilarious mix of family drama, blackface minstrelsy and tragic farce as it takes race issues head-on in our supposedly “post-racial” world with shocking, savage humor. This provocative and controversial play is directed by Terrence Spivey.
Classics professor Richard Patterson is not happy. The family of black entertainers that has moved in next door is an embarrassment—loud, raucous, tacky, shameless and obscene. They’re not just taking over the neighborhood—they’re infiltrating his perfect, interracial family and his perfect, post-racial sanity. In its scathing exploration of denial and its satire of black entertainment from minstrelsy to hip-hop, NEIGHBORS is a shocking, explosive, hilarious and wildly theatrical play.
Running Thurs-Sat at 8 pm.
