Don’t miss out on our season opener and the world premiere of mixed(er)!

When a biracial woman struggling with her racial identity discovers a surprise birthday party featuring all of her White friends and her only Black friend, she fights to keep everyone in the boxes she spent a lifetime defining.

“in a world where you kind of have to pick your own path,
it’s different to walk down the centre.”
