Straight White Men by Young Jean Lee

Event Details

Tackling the reality of power and privilege, "Straight White Men" follows Ed and his three adult sons who, when they come together to celebrate Christmas, enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese.

But amidst the camaraderie, they confront a problem that even being a happy family can't solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man? Written by award-winning playwright, Young Jean Lee and directed by PURE Theatre co-founder, Rodney Lee Rogers, Straight White Men will feature a cast including Randy Neale, David Mandel, Paul Rolfes, and R.W. Smith.

Pay-What-You-Will nights are Thursday, April 26 and Wednesday, May 2. The Halsey Post-Show Talkback is Thursday, May 3 at 7:30 pm.
