Point Loma Playhouse presents the West Coast premiere of N, a thought provoking comedy by award winning playwright David Alex that changes what you think about being a liberal or a conservative. Mrs. Page is a passionate, politically conservative, agoraphobic African American woman with a strong belief in astrology and the stock market. Eddy, an out of work actor and her caregiver, spouts the usual liberal jargon of a young white male oblivious of his privilege. He finally gets a career launching role, but he must use the N- word. Will he? Funny, poignant, and insightful, N is a wake-up call for the over-woke and under-woke. Starring Portia Gregory, Tyler VanCamp and Nate B. Smith Directed by Milena Phillips and Dori Salois For more information visit: pointlomaplayhouse.ticketleap.com
