'White'

Presented by Springs Ensemble Theatre at Online/Virtual Space

Springs Ensemble Theatre enters the virtual performance world with the streaming presentation of James Ijames’ ‘White’ which delves into race, gender, sexuality, and art in a hilarious, genuine way.

Springs Ensemble Theatre (“SET”) enters the virtual performance world with the streaming presentation of James Ijames’ White. Directed by local powerhouse Kala Roquemore, White delves into race, gender, sexuality, and art in a hilarious, genuine way.

Gus (Dana Kjeldsen) is an artist who wants his work to be included in an upcoming exhibition put together by Jane (Bethany Hernandez). However, Jane informs him he’s “the exact opposite of what I’m looking for…No white dudes.” Gus refuses to take no for an answer and hires a Black actress, Vanessa (Desireé Myers), to present his work as a Black artist they name and create together, “Balkonaé.” Everything seems to be working until the character of Balkonaé takes matters into her own hands….

For this production, SET has partnered with local artists. The set of White showcases the talents of Colorado Springs' most innovative visual artists, including Ollie Gielas, Elise Neal, Ravyn Martinez, Christine Flores, Muji Rieger, and Elly Siebert.

Performances will be available to stream September 24 - October 11 on our official website.

This is an online-only event. The show will run from 7 p.m. on Sept. 24 through 11:55 p.m. on Oct. 11. Tickets are available for purchase at springsensembletheatre.org/show. The show will cease to be available after October 11. No refunds can be processed.
