I previously wrote about my friend Mark Binder's play, that had its World premiere via Zoom at the Wilbury Theatre Group in January.
It closed on January 31, but due to popular demand, it's being brought back from March 13-March 28.
Here's a video trailer for the play.
The Race - live theater that disrupts the zoomscape from Mark Binder on Vimeo.
In the play, two candidates (Mr. White and Mr. Black) are vying for a position. One is white, and one is not (and during the course of the production, the actors change roles, so their name is NOT an indicator) As they are interviewed by an unseen third party (who may be a person, or an algorithm, or some strange amalgamation of the two) politics, race, bias, competition, complicity and computer mediation are all explored. The questions are off-putting and relevant (and audience members can participate in the live chat and vote on some of the questions using Zoom's Poll feature) And at the end of the show, the audience is invited for a talkback.
Don't miss the chance to see it!
