Supremely theatrical and compelling work that explores both systemic and internalized racism, shame, and the germ of hatred. Not only is the storytelling and characterization bold and engaging, but the theatrical world is vivid and unique. The use of meta-theater, minstrel tropes, and irregular dreamlike sequences is awesome. I'd love to see a creative and resource production company tackle this wonderful piece.

This play is a laceration, an elegiac reckoning of immense yet subtle power. Cuffing you in with its challenging complexity Am I White locks you into cutting dialogue, exciting character dynamics, and poetical interrogations ruminating on systemic racism, internalized racism and mental illness to name a few. Read this!

I have loved this play for years. Adrienne Dawes is a master of dialogue and this play is a sharp and intense look at race relations in America. Gorgeous writing, cannot recommend highly enough!
