In 1984, then unknown monologist Whoopi Goldberg premiered her provocative, thought-provoking one-woman show at Dance Theatre Workshop before it transferred to Broadway later that year, torching the rulebook of traditional solo performance in one of the most electrifying debuts of the era. Now, the trailblazing work returns— reimagined for a new generation. Emmy® Award Nominee Dominique Fishback (“Swarm,” “The Deuce”), Tony Award® winner Kecia Lewis (Hell’s Kitchen), NAACP Image Award Winner Danielle Pinnock (“Ghosts”), Emmy Award and SAG Award nominee Jurnee Smollett (“Lovecraft Country,” “Smoke”) , Emmy Award-winning producer and Golden Globe®-nominated actress Kerry Washington (“Imperfect Women,” American Son), and two-time Tony Award winner Kara Young (Purlie Victorious, Purpose), come together to bring Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage, in this new production directed by Tony Award nominee Whitney White. Funny, vivid, and deeply human, these nuanced portraits feel as fresh and irresistible today as they were over 40 years ago.
Kerry Washington will appear in this production through August 2nd. Jurnee Smollett will join the cast starting August 4th.
Whoopi Goldberg is not scheduled to appear in this production.
Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes, without intermission
