Chasing breadcrumbs
A new comedy where truth, integrity, and family are on the line.
By Michelle Tyrene Johnson
Directed by Betty Hart
February 20 - March 9, 2025
Dairy Arts Center
2590 Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80302
In Chasing Breadcrumbs, Serena, a Black playwright, has been commissioned to write a play by a well-heeled group of White women with questionable intentions. In the course of this world-premiere comedy, Serena navigates a minefield of privilege, creative compromises, and rewritten history. Provocatively funny and profoundly honest, this play shows that the best stories are ones money can’t buy.
Chasing Breadcrumbs is generously sponsored by the Eulipions Fund at the Denver Foundation.
The cast of Chasing Breadcrumbs is sponsored in part by Mark & Jamie Ragan on behalf of the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company.
Chasing Breadcrumbs is co-sponsored by Diana & Mike Kinsey.
