59E59 Theaters and The Negro Ensemble Co., Inc. have unveiled the full cast and creative team for Unentitled. Charles White's play will begin previews July 21 in Theater B at the Off-Broadway venue ahead of a July 22 opening night. Performances will run through August 6.
Starring will be C. Kelly Wright (Jazz), Justine Hall (The White Blacks), Adrain Washington (Pride Fighter), Ron Scott (Wu-Tang: An American Saga), and Gil Tucker (Cop Shop).
Set in late 2008 as Barack Obama makes the final push in his first presidential campaign, Unentitled follows an upper-middle class African American family that must contend with internalized racism and class anxiety. Tensions rise between them after one suddenly loses a job and a truth from the past comes to light. As tempers flare while at the family's Long Island vacation home, questions rise about what risks are worth betting history, tradition, and family on.
Florante Galvez will direct Unentitled, which will feature set design by Kristin Chang, costume design by Omar Sam a’ey, lighting design by Melody Beal, and sound design by Liam Riordan. AJ Muhammad will serve as dramaturg, with Fulton Hodges as technical director, and props by Marlon Campbell.
