The Virginia Stage Company presents Malcolm X & Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem by Jonathan Norton. 1943. Two young Harlemites form a friendship over leftover fried chicken and dirty dishwater. But a long, hot summer of heartbreak, betrayal, and racial uprisings moves them closer to the men they will become and farther from each other. This electrifying world premiere blends sharp humor with raw humanity, revealing the laughter, struggle, and brotherhood that shaped two legends. Directed by Dexter J. Singleton
