Turn Me Loose is Gretchen Law's intimate, no-holds-barred drama about the extraordinary and explosive life of Dick Gregory, who spent his later years in the nation's capital. Turn Me Loose chronicles Gregory's rise as the first Black comedian to expose audiences to racial comedy; in confronting bigotry head-on with biting humor and charm, Gregory turned activism into an art form.

The creative team for Turn Me Loose includes Scenic Designer Christopher Barreca; Costume Designer Susan Hilferty; Lighting Designer Stephen Strawbridge; Sound Designer Leon Rothenberg; Casting Directors Jack Doulin and Victor Vazquez; Stage Manager Erin Cass and Assistant Stage Manager Christi B Spann.
