Pay What You Choose Night for Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem

What if you could see one of the most talked-about new plays in the country... and choose what you pay to get in?

For one special performance, tickets to Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem are Pay What You Choose, starting at just $5. Sunday, April 19 at 7:30pm.

This gripping new play is part of a rolling world premiere that began at TheatreSquared in Arkansas, continued at City Theatre in Pittsburgh, and now arrives at the Wells. It imagines an early encounter between two young men who would later become cultural giants: Malcolm X and Redd Foxx.

Before the fame. Before the history books. Before the microphones.

Set in the back kitchen of a Harlem chicken shack, the play explores friendship, ideology, ambition, and the emotional cost of carving out a voice in America. It’s sharp, funny, intimate, and unexpectedly tender.
