Blackademics

Thick House
1695 18th St. San Francisco

Provocative discourse and sly competitive tensions are at the forefront of the lively drama Blackademics, which explores the modern black psyche in surprising ways. Ann and Rachelle are colleagues in academia out for an evening at an elite café. What begins as a positive, celebratory meal quick turns into a back-and-forth discussion of their personal and political ideologies, as their server baits both women in order to create further tension. Watch as the evening turns in an entirely different direction than either woman expected in this West Coast premiere of Idris Goodwin's absurdist take on "post-racial America" at Thick House.
