Fairview

What if you figured out you were being watched? And not just by the phone in your pocket, but by live people during everyday scenarios, like say, making a birthday dinner for your grandmother? And those people get to pick apart every moment, phrase, and choice? Fairview, the 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, uses that idea to riff on race and storytelling. Who should be in charge of some stories? What weight does experience have in art? Ground Floor Theatre tackles these questions from playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, twisting genre and expectation in this complicated, thought-provoking evening. – Cat McCarrey
