Talk About Race

The REP kicks off February with the world premiere of TALK ABOUT RACE, an original audio production conceived, written, and directed by REP company member Hassan El-Amin.  

This fast-moving, entertaining, and thought-provoking production takes an unflinching look at current racial relations in America.  TALK ABOUT RACE is guaranteed to provoke a full spectrum of emotions, from amusement to outrage, in an engaging mix of vignettes, comedy, little-known American history, rousing contemporary and historical oratory, and music – ALL ABOUT RACE.
