World Premiere
Now showing at the Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre, Michael R. Jackson's follow-up to A Strange Loop has been delighting audiences and critics with its deliriously hilarious send-up of daytime and prime-time soaps, blending their famous melodrama with comedy to tell the tale of one background character who desires to step out of the subplots and become the star.
White Girl in Danger is directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, choreography is by Raja Feather Kelly and book, music and lyrics come from Pulitzer and Tony winner Jackson. As one of musical theatre's most interesting creators of the moment, don't miss your chance to catch this exciting new show before it gets big!
What is the story?
Welcome to Allwhite - a town where the juiciest storylines are reserved for well, the white people, relegating the Blackground - the black stories - to tales of slavery and injustice. Member of the Blackground, Keesha Gibbs, is fed up with being used for morality tales and wants her own crazy A story. In a world of twists and turns, watch as Keesha rises to the top - by any means necessary!
