White People

February 16 – March 13

“…a funny, fond, but not entirely forgiving family portrait,
full of wist and rue.”
- NY Magazine, Critic’s Pick

“Delphi Harrington excels as Gramma, the relative you love
to hate, this is a skillful ensemble.”
- Curtainup

“Making a “normal” situation break apart at the seams is
difficult, and Cuthbert is to be commended.”
- NYTheatre.com

On a seemingly idyllic suburban Saturday in 1975  the long repressed tensions of Mag’s WASP family finally explode.  Her older son is writing a pornographic science fiction epic in his pajamas.  Her go-go dancing daughter is followed home from work by a mysterious stranger.  Her youngest son is smoking something in the basement.  Her husband’s started drinking again… and her racist mother shows up for lunch on the wrong day.  A long day’s journey into white.
