Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous, written by Pearl Cleage and directed by LaTanya Richardson Jackson, follows Anna Campbell, a trailblazing actress flush with accolades but short on cash, who returns to the U.S. to stage a career-defining comeback and collides with a new generation that challenges her past, her politics, and her place in the movement. The cast features Michele Shay as Betty Samson, Olivia Washington as Precious "Pete" Watson, Deborah Joy Winans as Kate Hughes, and Charlayne Woodard as Anna Campbell. This comedy about art, activism, and aging on your own terms is produced in association with Black Rebirth Collective and runs at the Gil Cates Theater at Geffen Playhouse through July 12, 2026.
