AMERIKIN, by Chisa Hutchison, performed by Seat of the Pants

When new father Jeff Browning receives the results of an ancestry test that he's taken to gain admittance to a white supremacist brotherhood, he gets an unexpected surprise. What transpires garners the attention of a prominent Black journalist-- attention that Jeff (and his small town) aren't sure they want. A dark comedy about the lengths we'll go to to feel connected to something larger than ourselves, AMERIKIN makes a passionate and provocative case for walking a mile in someone else's shoes - regardless of the cost.

Directed by Craig Joseph, produced and assistant directed by Jeannine Gaskin, the production stars Michael Glavan*, Chennelle Bryant Harris, Mugs Johnson, Rachel Lee Kolis, Andy Knode*, Katherine Nash, and Geoffrey Short.
