Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2023 Tony award for Best Revival of a Play, Suzan-Lori Parks’ searing and darkly funny play is a must-see theatrical event opening Vanguard Theater’s 10th anniversary season. This powerful work follows two brothers, struggling to carve out a future while wrestling with their past in a volatile mix of rivalry, love, and survival. Equal parts heartbreaking and electrifying, Topdog/Underdog is a gripping tale of family, identity, and the thin line between winning and losing. With sharp humor and explosive tension, it asks: how do we play the cards life deals us… and at what cost? Don’t miss this intimate, unforgettable production of one of the most acclaimed plays of the 21st century.
Vanguard Theater Company is at 180 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair, NJ.
