ABOUT THE SHOW
Award-winning writer and international performer Monique DeBose explores race, family and identity through her unique lens of being born to a southern African American father and Irish upstate New York mother. Performed with original music, Monique exposes the beauty, disgrace and complication of both the black and white worlds she experienced growing up amid the political and racial tension in the seventies that is still prevalent today. Experience the bravery, vulnerability, hilarity, ignorance and ridiculousness that is race and identity in America.
After a short break, the production will move to The Lounge Theatre in Los Angeles, as part of the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival June 2 - 23, 2018. Tickets for both venues are available at: www.mulattomath.com
