Talking Horse Productions kicks off its sixth season with Joel Drake Johnson's powerful story about racial tension in the workplace. Mr. Johnson, who spend some time teaching at Central Methodist University in Fayette, MO, is planning a trip to Columbia from his home in Chicago to be with us.
This tense workplace thriller examines the realities of so-called “post-racial” when two co-workers—one black, the other white—are driven apart by the machinations of their boss. A chilling power struggle ensues that spins wildly out of control. “Rasheeda Speaking is an exquisitely tense and often cringingly funny portrait of racial paranoia…Chilling. An incendiary play by Joel Drake Johnson.” – The New York Times
Featuring Chara Knight ("Black Pearl Sings!"), Lorrie Evelyn Furrer ("Over the River and Through the Woods", "The Dining Room", "The Last Romance") and THP newcomers John Bolton and Maggie Henson. Directed by Kate Busselle. Rated PG-13.
Tickets are $15 for adult and $13 for seniors 65+ and students. Flex passes, with six admissions, are available for $75/$65.
