BONUS CHAT: The Cast & Creatives Behind minor*ity at the WP Theater!

from The Roundtable with Robert Bannon · host Broadway Podcast Network

“Art, business, same thing.” Diaspora Now!, an international African arts conference, is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee in Paris and the panel line-up this year is sure to cause a stir. Newcomer Sami Monroe, a go-getting directing prodigy from America, joins jaded veteran painter Céza Depina and formerly banned storyteller, Cheikh Malick Diallo. As they prepare for each panel discussion, generational and cultural differences lead to clashes and a fierce competition emerges between the three artists. In a world plagued with scarcity, minor•ity is a powerful three-hander that interrogates Black identity, the plurality of the African diaspora, and what it means to be a sought-after artist of color. Cast: Ato Essandoh as Cheikh Nedra Marie Taylor as Céza Nimene Sierra Wureh as Sami Creatives: Written by francisca da silveira Directed by Shariffa Ali A Co-Production with Colt Coeur WP Theater, a theatre company dedicated to producing works by non-male writers, produces its shows in the same-named venue on the Upper West Side.
