Tesseract Theatre Presents AM I BLACK ENOUGH YET?
Through the power of theatre the audience is transformed into an "all black" audience.The non-black Audience members are now regular black Audience members, while regular black Audience members are now über-black, 'Shaft level black'. And with an all-black audience anything can be talked about, mixed into the conversation. Right?
Presented in skit comedy form, with titles of vignettes ranging from "Honorary Black Folk" to "Two Black Girls, One of Them White" to "International Slang Council", this play will get you laughing, but will also get you to thinking.The Washington Post calls AM I BLACK ENOUGH YET? ...a patchwork of poignant and satirical skits grappling with questions of ethnicity...Johnston's bold tonal shifts add surprise and texture to the piece, which is always thoughtful...

All performances will be at the Regional Arts Commission, 6128 Delmar Boulevard, St.Louis, MO 63112 (Across the street from The Pageant). General admission is $15.
