Gabi and Eva Mor's play The Bigot will begin an off-Broadway run on April 26 at the Theatre at St. Clement's. Directed by Michael Susko, the play is set to open on May 1 and run through June 9.

The Bigot tells the story of Jim, an equal-opportunity racist and chauvinist, homophobe, and anti-Semite. In short, he hates everyone who doesn't look or think like him. His unshakable beliefs, however, get shaken up when his life is turned upside down by a health crisis. Now he may need the very people he has spurned in his life to see something worth saving in him.

Leading the company will be Stephen Payne (Straight White Men). Additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
