Following its sold-out run at Soho Playhouse in 2023, Race: The Movie: The Play, created by Cristian Duran and Bret Raybould and directed by Cristian Duran, will return to the New York stage beginning Wednesday, June 17 at Asylum NYC for a limited run through Sunday, July 12.

The creative team for Race: The Movie: The Play includes Amina Alexander (lighting design), Ian Scot Williams (video/sound design), and Jason Aguirre (creative consultant). Additional casting is by Jodi Collins . The associate producer and production stage manager is Rob Howard and Kathryn Krull will be playing piano. Production management is by Arianna Knapp and Michael Richter and general management is by ShowTown Theatricals .

Race: The Movie: The Play is a wildly irreverent, razor-sharp screwball satire of prestige Hollywood race dramas. No white savior is spared in this fast-paced comedy that gleefully skewers every tone-deaf Oscar-bait trope audiences know all too well.

The story follows the brilliant Black musician Gene Yus on a concert tour through the Deep South of the 1850s escorted by Wyatt Saveyer, a rough-around-the-edges white chauffeur. But what begins as a familiar awards-season drama quickly spirals into complete comic chaos, exploding into a slapstick parody.

Winner of the New York Theater Festival’s awards for Best Script and Best Actor, Race: The Movie: The Play played an extended, sold-out run at Soho Playhouse — all with a marketing budget of exactly $0.
