When some trifling citizens storm a renowned cultural center where they’re not meant to be, all hell breaks loose. Wigs go flying. Wounds get opened. An archive explodes. Will the audience make it out alive? Abolition takes on fresh meaning in SIX CHARACTERS, Phillip Howze’s new play on power, belonging, and the institutions we build. Directed by Dustin Wills (Wolf Play - Lortel Award, Wet Brain).
Howze’s plays have been presented at The Bushwick Starr, Clubbed Thumb, NYTW, and The Public Theater, and Vulture has called his work “high-frequency dark humor, delivered over a gut punch of discomfort.”
"A genuinely experimental and daring new play!" - Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times
"A wild ride that bursts at the seams with cutting, sharply pointed ideas!" - Loren Noveck, Exeunt
"Darkly funny and probing! Phillip Howze is a gifted satirical trickster." - Jackson McHenry, Vulture
