Impact Theatre and Ferocious Lotus Theatre Company present a world-premiere comedy by celebrated playwright Christopher Chen.
The Republican Party finally realizes it has a problem with race. So it decides its best chance for success in the 2016 presidential election is to back a candidate who’s hapa — of mixed Asian descent. They think they’ve found their man in Nick, a promising Congressmember. But when Nick doesn’t conform to their expectations of who he should be, they turn to Len, a multiracial war hero who can check off every single box — and maybe a couple more boxes no one knows about.
A blisteringly funny satire that skewers not only the elephants in the room but the donkeys too, Mutt burns down the entire house of racial cards.
Pay-what-you-wish previews: May 1 & 2 (door tickets only / $10 advance tickets for those dates available online). Runs Thu-Sun through June 6.
