SLU Theatre & Dance presents Straight White Men by Young Jean Lee. When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?

From playwright Young Jean Lee in March 2013, “As an experiment, I wrote a straight white male character who did all of the things I’ve heard people say they wished straight white men would do: acknowledge your privilege, shut up and listen, don’t take up too much room, don’t think you know everything, put yourself in others’ shoes. The result: NOBODY liked him.”

Directed by SLU Associate Professor of Theatre Nancy Bell.
