Presented by New Threads Theatre Company and directed by Joel Sanchez Avantes, Spit in Your Face is a sharp, witty comedy by Paul Heller and Alberto Lomnitz that explores representation, cultural identity, and power in the arts. The story follows a theatre artistic director who attempts to make his company more inclusive by hiring a controversial Mexican director, thrusting a young Mexican American costume intern into a creative process packed with ego, ambition, and explosive questions. Audiences can experience this staged reading and participate in a post-show talkback with the creative team at Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga.
