A queer, black actor dreams of a dazzling career on the American stage but must contend with an industry largely unprepared for applicants who are not white heterosexuals. Using monologue, song, dance and drag Rotimi embodies, explores, and exposes the battles artists fight in the exclusive world of mainstream American theatre.
Drawing from Rotimis experience as a professional actor, Type/Caste portrays the peaks and pitfalls of a young artist's quest for success and raises the questions: What is true artistic success and how can it be achieved in an art form that has been overrun by commercial concerns? How can an artist create outsider art in a profession that overwhelmingly favors insiders? How does our American brand of profits-over-people capitalism threaten the very soul of the performing arts?
