YELLOWMAN
Written by Dael Orlandersmith
Directed by Flordelino Lagundino
May 21 – June 8, 2008
The beginning of acceptance is in the middle of prejudice.
Alma and Eugene have known each other since they were children. As their friendship blossoms into love, Alma struggles to free herself from her mother's poverty and alcoholism, while Eugene must contend with the legacy of being "yellow": lighter-skinned than his brutal and unforgiving father. A finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Yellowman is a riveting examination of the racial tensions that fracture communities and individual lives. Yellowman features Ericka Lee (Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, Yeast Nation, Noises Off, Hair) and Jordan Barbour (Yeast Nation, Hair, Hamlet, Topdog/Underdog).
Recommended for mature audiences.
