The final show of the Silverthorne Theater Company‘s summer season, Smart People, opens on August 2nd! Directed by Michael Ofori, performances will take place at the Perch at Hawks & Reed in Greenfield, from August 2nd – 10th.
As Obama runs for his first term in office, four Harvard-connected elites seek out meaningful work, human connection, and clarity around the elephant in the room that is race in America. Valerie Johnston (Kyle Boatwright) campaigns for Obama while trying to put her Acting MFA to work. Jackson Moore (Silk Johnson) saves lives in the ER and his neighborhood clinic. Ginny Yang (Yurika Ohno) is a champion for the mental health of all Asian American women, except maybe her own. Brian White (David Keohane*) uses science to prove that white people are racist and somehow surprises himself. A hilarious mashup of these four flawed individuals leads to painful missteps and new understandings as their lives intertwine. Get your tickets and today and don’t miss Smart People!
