Why see Topdog Underdog?

The Pulitzer-Winning Drama

Hailed by the New York Times as "the best American play of the previous 25 years", Susan-Lori Park's Topdog/Underdog comes to the Pasadena Playhouse in this new production starring Brandon Gill and Brandon Micheal Hall. Following two brothers as they struggle to achieve their version of the American Dream, don't miss this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama this spring.

What is the story?

Topdog/Underdog is a dark comedy about two African-American brothers Lincoln and Booth. Named so as an in-joke by their father, they grow up sharing the bonds of family and sibling rivalry. As the pair struggle to earn an honest living, their bonds are put to the test - as are the lengths they'll each go to salvage a life worth living from the hands they've been dealt.
