N*gger, Wetb*ck, Ch*nk (N*W*C)

Blending theater, hip-hop, stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and true-life stories with their own original style, three tour-de-force performers take on racial slurs, stereotypes, and the concept of race itself in this 95-minute stage production. Winner of "Best Play" from the American Readers Theater Association, N*GGER WETB*CK CH*NK charges into the dangerous territory of race, but without the predictable anger and angst. With the cast/co-writers from different ethnic backgrounds, "The show traces the origins and evolution of three derogatory terms that shaped our lives and took the place of a genuine understanding of our distinct cultures. In doing this show we hope to depower these words for ourselves and for our audiences." The event is free, but a general admission ticket is required. Tickets are available at the McCain Box Office or the K-State Student Union Little Theatre Box Office. * McCain Auditorium * 8 pm

"Old Dogs" * K-State Student Union Forum Hall * 8 pm * $1. Also 7 and 9:30 pm Saturday and 8 pm Sunday * $2
