[NEohioPAL] "What is it about white girls and horses?" -the playwright, This Is Not the Play

Wed May 28 12:49:14 PDT 2014

Cleveland Public Theatre presents
THIS IS NOT THE PLAY<http://www.cptonline.org/theater-show.php?id=224>
A play by Chisa Hutchinson
Directed by Emily Ritger

**Final Weekend: May 15-31**

THIS IS NOT THE PLAY is a gritty and in-your-face comedy by award-winning playwright Chisa Hutchinson. THIS IS NOT THE PLAY imagines a black playwright trying to write a play about white people. Distrust and stereotypes abound as the playwright sends in her agent to interrogate the characters. Is this the playwright's reflection on racism, or on her own prejudice?  **Adult content. Recommended Age 17+

"...the play beautifully merges the provocative with the funny and soars.
Director Emily Ritger's consistently interesting staging keeps all the action upfront and personal, and Headd and Starnik responded with some brilliant, confident acting on opening night..."
-Bob Abelman (Cleveland Jewish News)<http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/features/leisure/arts/article_230a65a4-e049-11e3-a02a-0019bb2963f4.html>

"Although billed as a comedy there is a deep undercurrent of serious drama that is food for thought...
See this for the laughs but stay for the thought."
