White Girl in Danger

About the show

White Girl in Danger is a satirical musical written by Michael R. Jackson. The show was first produced off-Broadway at the Kiser Theater in New York City in 2023. Jackson originally developed the new musical intending for it to be part of a multi-year residency at the Vineyard Theatre. The musical follows the citizens of Allwhite, a town filled with drama and intrigue worthy of, and blatantly satirizing, a daytime soap opera. Keesha Gibbs and the other “Blackgrounds” have been relegated to backburner stories of slavery and police violence for all of their lives. Keesha is determined to step out of her role and into the center of Allwhite's juiciest stories. While she claims to be making this shift for her people, the move really comes from her own self-interest in being a larger part of the story.
