Monique DeBose’s MULATTO MATH: Summing Up the Race Equation in America – a BFF 24 in 25 Free Event at Santa Monica Playhouse - The Other Space

It’s BFF ’24 in ’25, the 9th Annual BFF Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre, Feb 25 - April 4, the only FREE Fringe Festival in the nation, offering 30 plays, workshops and family-oriented events. Today: 

An edgy one woman show.  Through original music and stories of her family's history, this mixed race woman (from an African American father from the segregated south and Irish American mother from upstate New York) shares her most precious, vulnerable stories of her exploration of family, race and identity. 

“The first few minutes had me hooked!” STAGE RAW
 
As an audience member, you get the have the experience of being a fly on the wall for some of the most potent and real conversations from ‘the other side.’ The show is heartfelt, funny and an intimate look at race and the implications of race consciousness in America. Yes, it's one woman's story...but audiences from all backgrounds have found themselves and heard their own voices in Monique's story. With live music, video and images. Written, Performed & Produced by Monique DeBose. Directed by the late Denise Dowse.
