BILL POSLEYS
THE DAY I BECAME BLACK
Directed by Bente Engelstoft
Produced by Kristen Boulé
ONE WEEKEND ONLY!
THE LA FAREWELL SHOW!
Bill is presenting three nights only of his acclaimed hit solo-show in LA before he heads off to NYC for three months Off-Broadway. See The Day I Became Black now at the Broadwater Theatres where it all began, don't miss the final LA performances!
I have seen some remarkable actors and performances at the many Fringes I have attended over the years. Talent that deserves to reach the highest heights possible but I have seen only a handful of true stars. Bill Posley is now one of them.
-Ernest Kearney, The TVolution
Bill Posleys THE DAY I BECAME BLACK, will perform March 1-3 Friday, Saturday and Sunday @8pm at the Broadwater Studio 1078 Lillian Way in Hollywood. Seating is extremely limited!
Biracial Bill Posley grew up happily identifying as both black & white. But at 10 yrs old he learns the world does in fact judge a book by its color, & even though hes half white hes labeled 100% black. Does a young comedian have to get rid of his whiteness to be the color hes supposed to be?
In the modern day conversation about race, this is a perspective that never gets talked about: what it means to be biracial and grow up in a white world. Being biracial means that your identity is on trial." Black people want you to claim being black and white people, well, they just want to touch your hair. You think you have to choose, but society has already chosen for you.
The Day I Became Black tackles themes in society, not just through a Black lens, but through a Biracial one as well. Multi-racial people are growing three times faster than the population as a whole, not to mention people who come from different religious/political backgrounds and people who have gender identity issues. Weve all been forced to identify at one time or another, or worse, feel like a fraud trying to identify with more than one group. This show finds the comedy in the struggle of trying to fit in and trying to just be yourself.
He is an incredibly smart, gifted, hilarious, vulnerable and passionate performer, and this show is a masterpiece.
