Fairley's MAKING OF A MULATTO Plays Matthew Corozine Theatre, 12/12 - 2/6

Into the shading of the nation's first bi-racial president, enters Juliette Fairley and her one woman show the Making of a Mulatto. Arriving in Manhattan for a winter run, starting December 12, 2009 through Feb. 6, 2010, at the Matthew Corozine Theatre.

Written by Fairley, the Making of a Mulatto recounts the love story of an Afro American G.I. and his Caucasian war bride during World War 2. Juxtaposing the Jim Crow South with the Nazi regime in France, actress Juliette Fairley portrays 8 characters that detail discriminations that her interracial parents faced. Initially performed at Sunset Gardner Stages in Hollywood this past winter and at The Found Theatre Long Beach this fall to rave reviews, the show is making its New York debut.

A candidate for a Beverly Hills Hollywood NAACP Theatre Award nomination in 2010, Fairley won an award for Best Actress from the African American Playwrights Exchange. The Making of a Mulatto was written while Fairley studied under the legendary acting coach Wynn Handman. Meanwhile, the 33-year-old actress's career in film and television is blossoming with a recurring role in a television series called "Hey, Diddle Diddle," a recent film called "Holy Hustler" available on Netflix, Amazon and Blockbuster Video and a 2007 principal role in Spike Lee's "M.O.N.Y" for NBC.

Making of a Mulatto will play the Matthew Corozine Studio Theatre (300 W. 43rd St., Suite #502), from December 12, 2009 through Feb. 6, 2010.  For more information visit www.matthewcorozinestudio.com.

Now in its 9th year, the Matthew Corozine Studio is based in the Meisner Technique, and teaches "the reality of doing and finding the truth within yourself".
