The Pulitzer Prize Finalist Yellowman makes its Orange County premiere this Fall at Chance Theater. A celebration of language and the human spirit, Yellowman is an exquisite and provocative exploration of the challenges of overcoming racism, class, biases, and prejudices inherited both from community and family. Alma, a dark-skinned African-American woman, and her childhood friend Eugene, a light-skinned African-American man, have been life-long friends yet when their friendship turns to love, the different colors of their skin raise obstacles that could be insurmountable.

Christopher Smith with Orange County Register had a lot of feelings about "Yellowman". "The two-character play “Yellowman” explosively presents a challenging social theme and a star-crossed love story on the Chance Theater stage." "this is a raw, intense 100 minutes." "With the challenging intensity found in “Yellowman,” the theater straightforwardly reminds us of the gap in our lives without live performance and reasserts the case for how necessary in-person theater can be." Get your tickets now and like Chrisopher Smith says... "Buckle up your emotional seat belts for this one." www.chancetheater.com/yellowman2021
