"Underground Railroad Game" Created by Jennifer Kidwell & Scott R. Sheppard, Directed by Taibi Mager
Named one of the top ten theatre experiences of 2016 by the New York Times, Underground Railroad Game is a vivid, piercing piece of experimental performance from Philadelphia-based company Lightning Rod Special. Over its rapid-fire 75 minutes, the piece toes the line between sketch comedy show and excruciating American history lesson, set in a middle school classroom.
At Hanover Middle School, two teachers get shockingly down and dirty with a lesson about race, sex, and power. The quick-witted duo goes round after round on the mat of our nation’s history in an R-rated, far-reaching, and absolutely unflinching comedy.
Underground Railroad Game contains sexually explicit material, strong language, and mature themes. We recommend it for adventurous audiences ages 18 and up.
