OnWord Theatre Presents 'White Privilege'

A West Coast Premiere

A Hybrid Staged Reading - One Night Only

"White Privilege" by Malaina Moore is a powerful and provocative theatrical examination of race, privilege, and systemic injustice in America. Structured as a series of intersecting vignettes, the play gives voice to both the ignorance that sustains oppression and the lived realities of those most harmed by it. Through satire, raw testimony, historical reckoning, and searing dialogue, "White Privilege" dismantles the myths of “colorblindness,” exposes the violence of cultural appropriation and gentrification, and confronts the generational trauma of anti-Black racism. By weaving together classroom dynamics, therapy sessions, media narratives, and direct address to the audience, Moore forces us to question not only what privilege is—but how it operates in daily life, institutions, and history. At once deeply personal and urgently political, "White Privilege" is a necessary work of theatre that challenges audiences to move beyond denial and toward accountability.

Contains strong language, racial slurs, and themes of systemic racism, police violence, and trauma.
