Straight White Men on Broadway Background:

Straight White Men is a play by Obie Award winning playwright Young Jean Lee (Untitled Feminist Show, We’re Gonna Die, Lear, The Shipment, Church, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals). This production marks the first time that an Asian or Asian-American woman has written a play or musical produced on Broadway.

Young Jean Lee is a highly accomplished and versatile playwright, who founded her own theatre company called Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company. Called “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” by the New York Times, Lee is a dazzlingly exciting new voice. Straight White Men had its world premiere in April 2014 at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, before transferring to an Off-Broadway run at New York’s Public Theater the following year.

That Off-Broadway production received excellent reviews, being declared a New York Times Critics’ Pick, with Charles Isherwood calling it a “mournful and inquisitive play” and a “fascinating” work that “goes far beyond cheap satire.” Rather than offer an exercise in mocking the people referred to in the play’s title, Lee rather intends her audience to sympathize with her characters, illustrating the complication of matters concerning race and identity, particularly in the context of success. This powerful cast and creative team make Straight White Men a show not to miss.

Hammer’s previous film credits include Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss in The Social Network, Clyde Tolson in J. Edgar, and Steve Lift in Sorry to Bother You; he is making his Broadway debut with Straight White Men. Tom Skerritt will star in the play; Skerritt previously appeared on Broadway in the 2013 production of A Time to Kill, & he is also well known for Picket Fences.

The closest parking is not always the best as it often takes longer to park and retrieve your vehicle as fellow theatre goers have the same idea. A better choice of parking may be the second choice or further away by a couple of Avenues.
