White Women (LA) - As the name obviously suggests, White Women is comprised of seven black men that deliver a show filled with infectious energy, physicality, and bold choices. If you sleep on them, they will do a backflip on your mattress.

The Magic Negro and Other Blackness (ATL) - Have you ever pondered the idea that Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham might be racially charged? Is it possible to skip and listen to hip hop at the same time? Do black people actually carry around race cards? Well, maybe it’s time to take a closer look. Mark Kendall uses a series of comedic sketches to examine the representation of black males in the media in his critically acclaimed one-man show.  From prison to white flight, and even Reading Rainbow – we’ll explore some of the ways these images influence our views on race in everyday life. There will also be cookies.

The Local Ensemble (PDX) - The Local Ensemble is a group of curated local performers who worked together for four days under the guidance of two high-caliber, international directors at the 2017 Stumptown Improv Festival. They blew the roof off this past summer and we just had to put them on stage again!
