Shade: A Colorful Musical Comedy is a satire sketch comedy about people's hangups about race.

 

What if you could be someone else, just for one day? This original new musical comedy sets the stage for a doppelganger switcheroo that goes way, way beyond skin-deep differences. Come laugh at how alike — and different — we truly are in this bold new look at how we look at each other.

​

The show features a multi-cultural cast.
