  • Mora V. Harris: Lime-A-Rita Racist by Joshua Young
    “

    Leaning into the complexities of internet culture, Young examines toxic masculinity in a refreshingly blunt way—condemning violence while still managing to make us squirm about our own culpability in normalizing it. LIME-A-RITA RACIST is the kind of play that will start a conversation before audiences have even left the theater.
