Stage Door
Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.

The Lowdown
Sarah Jones — the Tony winner who can turn into an entire city block of people without changing costume — brings her shape-shifting solo show to Brooklyn for America's 250th birthday. Pulling characters from her own multiracial family and the country's messy past, she asks the question nobody agrees on: who actually gets to tell the story of America?
Directed by Eric Ting at TFANA's Polonsky Shakespeare Center and presented with National Black Theatre, America, Who Hurt You? is funny, warm, and quietly devastating — one performer, a whole nation, and about a dozen accents you'll swear came from different actors. It's a strictly limited run: previews September 11, opening September 17, closing September 27.
All the details — dates, the theater, tickets — are right below.
