THE LITTLE WHITE MAN MEANS GO
Cast: 6
The Little White Man Means Go is a wacky, absurd comedy that follows college friends Theo, Laura, and Deena as they navigate city-living. But this is no normal city, not with a goldfish with dreams of the stage, an information succubus trying to break through the glass ceiling, an agoraphobic neighbor with a penchant for kink parties, and a mysterious baby! As Theo, Laura, and Deena all try to make sense of the world around them, normality continues to fracture until not even they can tell whether they’re in real life or just another performance art piece from Deena’s museum.
The Little White Man Means Go was featured in the 2017 Harvard Playwrights Festival and a Semi-Finalist in B Street Theatre’s 2019 New Comedies Play Festival.
