Description
In the modern day conversation about race, this is a perspective that never gets talked about: what it means to be biracial and grow up in a white world. Bill Posley grew up happily identifying as both black and white. But at ten years old he learns the world does in fact judge a book by its color, and even though he’s half white he’s labeled as 100% black. Does a young comedian have to get rid of his whiteness, to be the color he’s “supposed” to be? Being biracial means that your identity “is on trial." You don’t look like either side of your family so you wind up feeling like you are on an island all your own. Black people want you to claim being black and white people, well, they just want to touch your hair. You think you have to choose, but society has already chosen for you.
The Day I Became Black, written, produced, and performed by biracial comedian Bill PosleyGeneral Bourbon Room Info:
Seating at the Bourbon Room is flexible, depending on the type of show.
Seating is at the discretion of the House Manager, and based on the party size. All tables are either 2 or 4 tops, so you will likely be sat with other parties if you are an odd number party or a large party, based on availability. We will always do our best to accommodate your group to your satisfaction.
VIP Seating for all shows are elevated booths on each side of the stage, and may include tables at the front of the stage for seated shows. Floor level booths on the side may be opened up for VIP as well.
General Admission Seating will vary depending on type of show and floor layout.
For theater and comedy shows, and some acoustic or more mellow shows, we typically lay out cabaret seating, meaning you will likely have tables and chairs, and table service. Some higher capacity shows may have seating with no table service towards the back, in order to accommodate more guests.
For most concerts, tributes or original bands, or bands that request plenty of standing room or dance floor in front of the stage, General Admission Seating is standing room only. Depending on attendance, sales, and house discretion, we may add seating towards the back to accommodate upgrades.
The Bourbon Room opens at 6pm for dinner service in our gorgeous front lounge and bar on weekdays, 5pm on weekends. Theater doors are usually an hour before listed showtime.
