The Colored Museum by George Wolfe

A wild evening of black black humor. Now is an important time to focus and work on issues of race in America. This play, a thrilling satire, makes you think and laugh. When the show was originally performed in New York City, Frank Rich of The New York Times wrote, “The Colored Museum has electrified, discomforted, and delighted audiences of all colors, redefining our ideas of what it means to be black in contemporary America. Its 11 `exhibits’ undermine black stereotypes old and new, and return to the facts of what being black means. Mr. Wolfe is the kind of satirist who takes no prisoners. The shackles of the past have been defied by Mr. Wolfe’s fearless humor, and it’s a most liberating revolt!” Reservations required – (914) 395-2412.
