It’s Game Night on the Upper West Side! A close-knit group of wealthy, white, liberal parents gathers for their monthly night of friendly competition on the same day that the NYC Department of Education assigns their 5th grade children their lottery numbers for middle school admissions. What was intended to be a relaxing kid-free night turns tense as these "nice white parents" play mind games and board games that prompt them to wrestle with their privilege and principles. Would you work towards the collective good if you felt that the collective good would not benefit you? What is the difference between having privilege and hoarding privilege? TABOO! is an incisive dark comedy about the fear that being a good parent is at odds with being a good progressive.
