Seattle, WA—Mirror Stage’s popular Feed Your Mind staged reading series returns this fall with the incendiary RACE by David Mamet, presented in collaboration with Swimming Ophelia Ensemble and Pacific Science Center at the Ethnic Cultural Theatre Sept. 28-29.
The Swimming Ophelia Ensemble partnership enables Mirror Stage to continue deepening its relationship with the University of Washington, and all post-play discussions for RACE will be held at Pacific Science Center with discount admission for Mirror Stage patrons to the Pacific Science Center RACE: Are We So Different? exhibit.
Award-winning playwright David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross, American Buffalo) tackles America’s most controversial topic in RACE, a provocative tale of sex, guilt and bold accusations. Two high-profile lawyers—one black, one white—are asked to defend a wealthy white executive accused of raping an African-American woman. They unwillingly find themselves entangled in a complex case where dangerous truths are revealed and no punches are pulled, as each new piece of evidence unfolds in this explosive drama.
Directed by Suzanne M. Cohen, Feed Your Mind: RACE features Maria Knox (Susan), Butch Stevenson (Henry), Lyam White (Charles) and Jeremy Young (Jack).. Free parking is available in University of Washington’s lot W12, located at just south of the Ethnic Cultural Theater on Brooklyn Ave NE. For more information, please visit www.mirrorstage.org/race.
