About

Best All-Around White is a solo storytelling performance written and performed by Lee Papa and directed by Mark Harry Creter, presented by One Yellow Rabbit as part of the 2027 High Performance Rodeo. Papa traces his 1980s upbringing in the American South and the stories about race and history he was taught, from school textbooks that downplayed slavery to plantation tours focused on the suffering of slave owners, unpacking the myths and contradictions that shape how people understand race. Content warning: discussion of racism and violence; includes profanity. Age 15 and up. Lobby doors and bar open at 1:00 PM, performance at 2:00 PM in The GRAND Studio Space. A second performance is scheduled for January 31. Booking is offered through The GRAND.
