The Ensemble Theatre Opens RACE, 5/9

The Ensemble Theatre explores prejudice and deception in Race by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet, and directed by Eileen J. Morris.

"When comparing race with sex, the truth can never be revealed about the two things," says Mamet.

A high-profile wealthy white businessman is accused of raping a black
woman. He seeks counsel from a law firm with an African American
partner. The lawyers give their potential client, who claims the sex
was consensual, a reality check on the conspiracies of the American
legal system, the media, and most of all, Race. But not everything is
black and white -- or is it?

"The attorneys in this play, like many of us, have been taught what to
say to appear as though they don't internally use race as a means for
passing judgment on others," says Morris. "We can all relate to the
human conditions of shame and guilt against our internal struggle with
race."

Featured cast members debuting on The Ensemble Theatre stage include:
equity actors Mirron Willis, who first debuted with The Ensemble in
Knock Me A Kiss, and Justin Doran. They will be joined by two
newcomers: equity actress Joy Brunson and Kevin Daugherty.

This production is recommended for mature audiences due to adult
language and profanity.
