The world premiere of Suzan-Lori Parks' White Noise, which will officially open at The Public Theater March 20, has extended a second time. The limited Off-Broadway run began March 5 and will now continue through May 5.

In White Noise, four long-time friends navigate a racially motivated incident with the cops that leaves one of them shaken. The new work, helmed by Artistic Director Oskar Eustis, looks at race, friendship, and our rapidly unraveling social contract.
