Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy's Chicken Shack in Harlem at TheatreSquared

1943. Two young Harlemites – Little and Foxy – form an unlikely friendship over leftover fried chicken and dirty dishwater. Then a long hot summer of heartbreak, betrayal, and racial uprising moves them farther from each other—but much closer to the history-making American icons they are destined to become. This electrifying world premiere blends sharp humor with raw humanity, revealing the laughter, struggle, and brotherhood that shaped two legends. Commissioned by TheatreSquared.

Produced in partnership with Dallas Theater Center and others TBA.
