A good play to go see this week is at The Evidence Room in Hollywood. Roger Guenveur Smith and Mark Broyard are appearing in “Inside the Creole Mafia – The Post Katrina Version.” I am a fan of Smith’s work with Spike Lee and on the television masterpiece, “OZ.” “Inside the Creole Mafia” celebrates and illuminates his Creole identity, and the politics of passing for white. This show asks the important questions about race that no one ever really asks. Who are we if we are not black or white? Is it a crime to pass for white? Is it a legitimate identity or just a mere “Imitation of Life?” Smith and Broyard shift effortlessly between characters in a fast paced show with countless voices from the 9th ward and beyond. It is an important contribution to the never ending dialogue of race, but one that brings new, fresh voices into the mix, and some incredibly funny observations as well as tragic circumstances for victims of Hurricane Katrina and the US government, which worked together to destroy one of America’s most exciting and culturally complex cities. “Inside the Creole Mafia” is an original, important, provocative work, and should be seen by everyone. Not just the sexy people.
