Blending theater, hip-hop, stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and true-life stories with their own original style, three tour-de-force performers take on one of the hottest issues around…race…in the premiere production from LA’s Speak Theater Arts: N*W*C – The Race Show

N*W*C draws startlingly funny and sharply moving conclusions about what separates us as cultures, and yet, must ultimately bring us together as people.

In N*W*C’s words: “This show traces the origins and evolution of three derogatory terms that shaped our lives and took the place of a full understanding of our distinct cultures. Creating our own brand of theater, we’ve used these stories to get us to a better place. We hope they get you somewhere too.

Miles Ellington Gregley, Rafael Agustín and Allan Axibal of N*W*C..
