Performance - Jordans

About the Event

JORDANS 
By Ife Olujobi
Directed by Whitney White

A bitingly funny, wildly imaginative new play by The Public’s Emerging Writers Group alumnus Ife Olujobi, JORDANS is a piercing exploration of assimilation, racial capitalism, success, and survival. At an overwhelmingly white workplace where appearance is everything, a long-suffering receptionist finds herself in personal, professional, and psychic jeopardy when her ruthless boss hires a hip new employee in an effort to improve the company’s image and “culture.” Suddenly, the two young, Black social climbers are forced together and torn apart by their race, ambition, and otherworldly circumstances. JORDANS is a story of identity mistaken, power subverted, and rage unleashed. Don’t miss this bold new play directed by Obie Award winner Whitney White about what it takes to stay on top.

JORDANS contains sexually explicit content, nudity, vomit, violence, and blood. This production also uses herbal cigarettes, haze, and strobe lights. We encourage you to contact us (info@publictheater.org or 212.967.7555) if you have questions about any production.
