Signature Theatre has announced student rush and waitlist policies for The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World by Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks and "Master Harold" … and the Boys, written and directed by Tony Award winner Athol Fugard.

Student rush tickets to the extension dates of both shows (November 29-December 11 for "Master Harold"…and the Boys and December 6-18 for The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World) will be sold for $30 when the ground floor box office opens each day up until performance time. Tickets are only available in person and are subject to availability. Limit two tickets per person. Valid student ID must be presented at time of purchase.

On a day of a sold out performance, a waitlist for full price tickets will be available in person at the ground floor box office window one hour prior to show time. Names from the waitlist will be called no earlier than 30 minutes prior to curtain. If you are called and not present, your name will be removed from the list. Seats will be offered in order of waitlist sign-up.

Directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World is described as follows: "a woman tries to feed her husband a fried drumstick. Dragons roam a flat earth. The last Black man in the whole entire world dies again. And again. Careening through memory and language, Parks explores and explodes archetypes of Black America with piercing insight and raucous comedy."

"Master Harold"…and the Boys is set in a small tea shop in South Africa in 1950, where two black men and a young white boy joke and dance together, defying the brutalities of apartheid through their joyous love. But festering issues of family, race, and power are not so easy to ignore, and a single phone call can trigger catastrophe.
