Check out a sneak peek of Chisa Hutchinson's AMERIKIN - running at 59E59 Theaters through April 13, 2025. Video by Zanni Productions Original Music and Sound Design by Lindsay Jones AMERIKIN written by CHISA HUTCHINSON directed by JADE KING CARROLL presented by PRIMARY STAGES and TED SNOWDEN in association with JAMIE deROY, JAN McADOO, and CHERYL WIESENFELD In small-town Maryland, Jeff Browning resolves to give his newborn son every possible advantage – by joining a local white supremacist group. When his attempt to join is thwarted by some surprising ancestry test results, the line between “us” and “them” gets incredibly blurry. Jeff scrambles to maintain appearances, but his sanitized story starts to unravel when a prominent Black journalist and his daughter start asking questions. Both bitterly funny and deeply compassionate, Amerikin explores the lengths we go to protect our own, the lies we tell ourselves, and the cost of division on us all.
