Critically ACCLAIMED sATIRE

George C. Wolfe's 1986 satire, The Colored Museum, runs in Washington this summer! The provocative play satirically depicts, through eleven sketches or "exhibits", aspects of African American stereotypes, narratives and other harmful and outdated tropes; a provocative commentary on the complexities, contradictions but also ultimately the potential hope of Black life in American societies.

Through comedy, drama, and biting social commentary, Wolfe challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about race and the legacy of racism. The Colored Museum is celebrated for its unapologetic voice and its ability to provoke thought and discussion about race, culture, and the human experience. See for yourself why.
