This 2014 play spans the time between 2007 and 2009. It’s a romantic comedy about four “smart people” of various races trying to deal with racism, friendship and romance in the years leading up to the first Obama election.

Although the play won the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, the 2002 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play and was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it has never been produced in Louisville. The Liminal Playhouse will be rectifying that situation with the close of our fourth season. The New York Times aptly described this play as exploring “…the irrational, confounding, and convention-thwarting nature of love.”
