Leslie Wallace is a promising Black writer who has just landed her first deal with HBO when her White, former classmate Andrew shows up and accuses her of plagiarizing his script. Their confrontation—and eventual uneasy alliance—explores representation, privilege, and who gets to tell what stories.
Full of humor and complex characters, A JUMPING-OFF POINT is a sharp and electric new play from rising star playwright and screenwriter Inda Craig-Galván (Will Trent, How to Get Away with Murder), and asks who has the right to tell a Black story? And when mistakes are made - who is allowed to fail?
