Road Less Traveled Productions will wrap up its 2013-14 season with David Mamet's RACE. This explosive legal drama features a veteran cast of local talent playing characters who tussle over the difficult question of racial bias in crime. This play will receive its Western New York premiere when it opens at the Road Less Traveled Theater on Friday, April 25th. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Directed by Scott Behrend, this 2009 play from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Mamet starts off with two attorneys deciding whether to take on the case of a wealthy businessman charged with assault. What begins with a simple mounting of defense takes on much more complicated dimensions when a young law assistant suggests the role that race plays in this crime. Tensions rise between the two attorneys, one white and one black, as they begin to confront whether their perceptions of the case are blurred by the racial differences between the victim and the assailant.

The cast features local actors Doug Zschiegner, Pete Johnson, Danica Riddick and RLTP Ensemble Member Dave Hayes.

Race opens on Friday, April 25th and runs through Sunday, May 18th, and will be produced at the Road Less Traveled Theater in the Market Arcade Film and Arts Centre. Tickets are $35 general admission and $17 for students. Groups of 10 or more may still apply for group discounts. You may order tickets online (www.roadlesstraveledproductions.org), by calling (716) 629-3069 or by visiting the RLTP box office during the 30 minutes prior to any performance.
