Presented by Black Lives, Black Words International Project and Writers Theatre

About the Play
Marcus has a new wife, a comfortable job and everything seems to be falling into place – until his honeymoon is interrupted by an email from work, laying him off. To make ends meet, he becomes a ride share driver, shuttling passengers from all walks of life to and from parties, brunches and meetings. The passengers range from silly, to seductive – to downright scary. But as long as Marcus keeps his radio on and his wits about him, there’s nothing he can’t handle…right?
Please be advised: Ride Share includes the use of strong language, violence and sexual content. Viewer discretion is advised.
