It's the night of the Golden Globes, and Robbie, a white actor with a rising career, has received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role as a racist cop in a #BlackLivesMatter film. His pregnant African-American wife Nia is an actress whose once-thriving career has recently taken a back seat to her husband’s.

    A takedown of racism, cultural appropriation, and the political acceptance speech, DIVISION STREET is funny, poignant, and challenging.

    Jason Odell Williams knows how to tackle important conversations with humor and humanity. Great characters, great humor and a play that talks about race and cultural appropriation in a way you have never seen before.
