***At this time both performances are at capacity! The waitlist will begin 30 minutes before each show, in person. We will allow those who have RSVP'd to enter first. Around 10 minutes to showtime we'll let in as many people as we can, in the order of the waitlist.
Produced in Partnership with the The African American Museum in Philadelphia.
THE COLORED MUSEUM has electrified, discomforted, and delighted audiences of all colors, redefining our ideas of what it means to be black in contemporary America. Set in a fictional museum where iconic African-American figures are kept for public consumption, its eleven "exhibits" undermine black stereotypes old and new and return to the facts of what being black means.
Part of Theatre Philadelphia's Theatre Week.
*Please note that the performance takes place throughout the museum and some portions require standing. We will have some seating around the space for those who require a seated experience.*

"Egoli" by Matsemela Manaka
Co-produced with EgoPo Classic Theater
Complimentary Theatre in the X night on Tuesday, March 19th. For information on how to claim your complimentary ticket or for special Theatre in the X discount opportunities e-mail theatreinthex@gmail.com.
Featuring Co-Artistic Directors Carlo Campbell and Walter DeShields, Egoli is a look into the world of miners in South Africa, depicting lives that are often overlooked, as they struggle with racial inequality, poverty, and systemic incarceration. Manaka was a pivotal player in the grassroots black theatre movement that grew out of the 1976 Soweto uprisings protesting the government’s political repression and extreme state censorship. Published in 1980, the play was banned by the South African government in 1981.
