After receiving critical acclaim for its Washington DC premiere last winter Restoration Stage presents the final encore performances of the Helen Hayes Awards recommended "Chocolate Covered Ants"; Steven A. Butler, Jr.’s intense drama about being Black and male in modern day America. Ripped from the headlines---and just in time for the most important election in Modern times, this must see production is back to challenge perception and herald a new voice in theater.

THE PLOT:
Psychologist and social worker, Dr. Adrienne Taylor (Suli Myrie) is engaged in an intense round of therapy sessions with an eclectic collection of Black men. Chocolate Covered Ants chronicles her research: an in-depth look at the Black man and the effects of a complex society on his mental, social, and physical survival. But as she journeys through the Black man’s mind, Dr. Taylor’s study takes an unexpected turn. The joys, pain, truths, and lies she encounters promise to affect not only her patients, but the good doctor herself.

Chocolate Covered Ants is written by Arena Stage Playwrights' Arena Playwright Steven A. Butler, Jr. and is directed by veteran l arts educator Courtney Baker-Oliver (Duke Ellington School of the Arts). Marvin Bowser and Rikki Howie Lacewell are producers.

Chocolate Covered Ants features Suli Myrie, Tillmon Figgs, Wilma Lynn Horton, Kandace Foreman, Marlon Russ, MarQuis Fair, Charles W. Harris, Jr., Miles Folley and Zukeh Freeman.

Chocolate Covered Ants runs October 18 – October 28, 2018 at TheArc located at 1901 Mississippi Ave, SE, Washington DC 20020.
