Students are encouraged to stay after the information session to see The Colored Museum, an Acting Thesis production happening at 2 pm, directed by Nigel Semaj. A brief description of the production is below:

In George C. Wolfe’s 1986 classic The Colored Museum, 11 satirical exhibits take aim at the most pernicious American stereotypes of Black culture. Through provoking throughout, at times mournful, aspirational, uncomfortable, and riotously funny, The Colored Museum asks audiences of all colors to look beyond the overworked ideas of how Blackness is represented and to create space for a bigger, broader, more full future.

As Wolfe writes in the show: “So, hunny, don't waste your time trying to label or define me… 'cause I'm not what I was ten years ago or ten minutes ago. I'm all of that and then some. And whereas I can't live inside yesterday's pain, I can't live without it.”

Tickets for the Acting Thesis, The Colored Museum, are limited to one (1) per prospective student. Would you like to put yourself on the waitlist to potentially obtain a ticket for the 2 pm performance of The Colored Museum?
