Description

After acclaimed runs at Manhattan Theatre Club, Arena Stage, Long Wharf, McCarter, Wilma, Berkeley Rep and other regional theatres, the Fountain Theatre is honored to premiere Dael Orlandersmith's celebrated play Yellowman in Southern California.

Alma, a dark-skinned African-American woman, and her childhood friend Eugene, a light-skinned African-American man, have been life-long friends; yet when their friendship turns to love, the different colors of their skin raise obstacles that become insurmountable. Are we on the inside what we appear to be on the outside? Are we all ultimately victims of the biases and prejudices of our parents, our community, no matter what color our skin?

Directed by Shirley Jo Finney
Starring Chris Butler and Deidrie Henry
Pproduced by Bennett Bradley
