The Niceties
The Studio @620, St. Pete
Set in a university office, The Niceties centers on a meeting between a progressive white professor and her Black student that spirals into a fierce, deeply human debate about race, power, history, and who gets to control the narrative. What begins with good intentions exposes uncomfortable truths about privilege, identity, and the limits of civility.
Smart, unsettling, and often darkly funny, The Niceties doesn’t offer easy answers—but it invites audiences into the tension, the questions, and the conversation we’re still learning how to have.
