professor Richard Patterson is not happy. The family of black entertainers that
has moved in next door is an embarrassment—loud, raucous, tacky, shameless and
obscene. They’re not just taking over the neighborhood—they’re infiltrating his
perfect, interracial family and his perfect, post-racial sanity. In its
scathing exploration of denial and its satire of black entertainment from
minstrelsy to hip-hop, NEIGHBORS is a shocking, explosive, hilarious and wildly
theatrical play. </span></p><p></p>
