SALVAGE VANGUARD THEATER PRESENTS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF

AM I WHITE by Adrienne Dawes, directed by Jenny Larson

Performances run October 1- 18, 2014

When Neo-Nazi terrorist Wesley Connor returns to prison after a failed bomb plot, he is confronted with the two identities that threaten his position within the White Order of Thule most: fatherhood and his own mixed race heritage.

Inspired by the true story of Leo Felton and Erica Chase, AM I WHITE travels between recurring dream and minstrel show nightmare to discover if a singular self exists in an alleged "post-racial" America.

AM I WHITE's extraordinary cast includes J. Ben Wolfe (in the lead role of Wesley Connor), Florinda Bryant, Michael Joplin, Cyndi Williams and Katie Van Winkle. The award-winning design team includes Ia Enstera , Natalie George, Jessica Gilzow, Lowell Bartholomee, with original music/sound design by Peter Stopschinski.
