About The Potluck
In 1979, five labor organizers and activists were murdered at a protest in the streets of Greensboro, NC, by members of the KKK and the American Nazi Party. A year later, César James Alvarez was born into the survivor community and named for two of the victims. 37 years after that, César got a commission to write a musical about the Greensboro Massacre, but it turned into a show about ghosts… and capitalism…and how to recuperate from trauma that happened to you before you were even born.
The Potluck is a new musical featuring a 12 person intergenerational cast that conjures the soft side of the revolution, and tells a story about what to do when the government is actually trying to kill you.

The jumping off point is very important and needs to be shared. However, despite some genuinely touching and engaging moments of storytelling, the whole thing meanders and never really finds solid footing.
A musical about a horrific massacre by the KKK. The charismatic main performer doesn’t know what he wants to say about it and spins in circles.
A very moving, unique and inspiring piece of theatre that is so relevant to today.
Venue
Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons
