Based on the writings of award-winning columnist and commentator, Kathy Y. Wilson, YOUR NEGRO TOUR GUIDE is a provocative, solo performance piece on identity in modern America. Through scathing and thoughtful rants, letters, music and nightmares, actress Torie Wiggins steers us through the modern American landscape of race, gender, and class.
Torie Wiggins has been performing since the age of two. She graduated from University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with a BFA in Dramatic Performance. Her directing/dramaturgy credits include RELATIONSHIPS IN BLACK, and four one-woman shows that she also wrote and produced across the country including TORIE ON ICE and YOUR NEGRO TOUR GUIDE, both directed by Jeff Griffin. Currently residing in New York, she has appeared on ALL MY CHILDREN, the feature film LOVE ME THROUGH IT and her voice can be heard on national television and radio commercials. She has appeared in several shows in Know Theatre’s 2011-2012 season including ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIG GAY DANCE PARTY, COLLAPSE, AFGHAN WOMEN’S WRITING PROJECT, and is currently appearing in BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON.
