Angry Black White Boy

Prolific actor, rapper and playwright Dan Wolf re-imagines Adam Manbach’s provocative novel Angry Black White Boy in a hybrid of theatrical storytelling, poetry, rapping, beatboxing, ballet and hip-hop dance. Blending this kinetic palate of forms, the story exposes a young Jewish man’s internal/external struggle to efface his race and historical identity. Looking for meaning outside of Judaism, especially within the hip-hop world surrounding him, he refashions his guilt and shame to cloak himself in the knowledge and expertise of a culture he adopts as his own.Wolf’s collaborators include actor/musician Tommy Shepherd, choreographer/dancer/actor Keith Pinto and director Sean San José.

A Q&A with Adam Mansbach and the cast will follow the performance.
