It's mad hard to feel like a real person when you're trapped in a minstrel show. Tambo and Bones’ escape plan: Get out, get bank, get even. This 2022 tale roasts America’s racist past, wrestles America’s racist present, and explodes America’s post-racial future.
TAMBO & BONES is presented at Marigny Opera House (725 Saint Ferdinand Street). Please note this production contains some adult content.
