Race

Adapted by Jamie Pachino from the best-selling book by Studs Terkel, Race uncovers the true thoughts and emotions of ordinary Americans, both black and white, about this country’s most explosive issue. Drivers, college students, civil rights workers, Klansmen, doctors, interracial couples and many more struggle with their feelings on affirmative action, drugs, prejudice, and dashed hopes, revealing attitudes that few are willing to admit in public. This gripping documentary theatre piece features a multiracial ensemble.

Race is presented as part of The Charlestown Working Theater’s Resident Artists Program.
