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.
