Big Story. Small Price. $15 Tickets Available | Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy's Chicken Shack in Harlem

The Hoffmann Fund is helping make it easier for more members of our community to experience the power of live theatre. Thanks to this support, discounted tickets are available for select performances of Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem at the Wells Theatre.

This compelling new play imagines a moment before two cultural icons became legends. Set in 1943 Harlem, it brings Malcolm X and Redd Foxx together as young men working side by side, navigating ambition, friendship, and the paths that would shape their futures. It’s a story rooted in history, but alive with urgency, humor, and heart.

With help from the Hoffmann Fund, we’re able to open the doors a little wider, offering more affordable access to a production that invites conversation and connection long after the curtain falls.
Discounted seats are limited and available while supplies last. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to experience something bold, thought-provoking, and new, this is it.

$15 tickets are available for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday performances.
