A JUMPING-OFF POINT

By Inda Craig-Galván
Directed By Shá Cage

April 20 - May 19, 2024

Smart | Stimulating | Inquisitive

Leslie Wallace is a promising Black writer who has just landed her first deal with HBO. Her celebration is cut short when she gets a surprise visit from Andrew, a white man from her grad school cohort, who accuses her of plagiarizing his script. Their confrontation—and eventual uneasy alliance—forces a reckoning on representation, privilege, and who gets to tell what kinds of stories. Full of humor and complex characters, 

A Jumping-Off Point is a sharp and electric new play from rising star playwright and screenwriter Inda Craig-Galván (Will Trent, How to Get Away with Murder), and explores ownership of story and asks who has the right to tell a Black story?

Tickets on sale March 20
