Why: The latest play by T. J. Elliott and Joe Queenan of Knowledge Workings Theater is currently being performed live at Broom Street Theater in Madison, Wisconsin, but the November 19 performance will be streamed live, and for free, on YouTube. Directed by Dana Pellebon, Genealogy is about a podcast, Chasing the Dead, that one night reveals ancestral connections that shake up the guests, a pair of married couples, one a former football player and his activist professor wife, the other a homemaker and former prosecutor and her high-powered lawyer husband. The cast of the show, which is subtitled A Satire of Inconvenient Family Ties and delves into slavery and reparations, features Karl Reinhardt, Jamie England, Quanda Johnson, Atticus Cain, and Jackson Rosenberry.
