Description

Thinking Cap Theatre presents the regional premiere of ALL THE NATALIE PORTMANS, a bold, funny, and moving coming-of-age play by C.A. Johnson. Johnson’s important new work examines an African American family in crisis, struggling to survive in the face of alcoholism and structural racism while also grappling with conflicting views on homosexuality. Told from the perspective of the central character, 16-year-old Keyonna, who escapes into a world of Natalie Portman rom-coms when challenges arise, this eye-opening play delivers a timely message about (self)acceptance and empathy.
