Puzzle Piece Theatre stormed into Detroit's theatre scene less than two years ago, bringing with it a clear vision of art as catalyst for conversation. Exploring themes of indifference to human suffering, suicide, and love in times of war rounded out their first season. Season two starts out just as provocatively, with Producing Artistic Director DB Schroder bringing issues of race, prejudice and white privilege to the forefront with White People, a play written by JT Rogers.

WHITE PEOPLE by J.T. Rogers will be presented by Pegasus Theatre as a Churchmouse production at the Bath House Cultural Center today, May 8 - May 25, 2014. WHITE PEOPLE will be directed by Chad Cline and the cast includes Jack O'Donnell as Martin, Charissa Lee as Mara Lynn, and Jason Folks as Alan.

While waiting for my guest to return from the ladies room after Monday night's performance of J.T. Rogers' White People, I amused myself by observing the faces of those exiting the theatre and waiting for the elevator to take them up to street level. The white people in the audience were generally very quiet with serious faces that suggested they were deep in thought. The non-white people I observed all displayed that healthy vibrancy that comes with taking in a lively evening of exhilarating theatre; particularly the woman with the Obama baseball cap who was happily chatting away with her companions and the young man who was sitting in front of me during the show, whose hearty laughter throughout the 90 minute piece told the whole room he was having a ball.
