After having spent 32 years growing up in a middle-class white family, Michael Fosberg discovered that he is black. He explores all the tensions and emotions of that discovery, and of race and identity in America, in Incognito, a solo show he’s performed to acclaim in theatres, high schools, colleges, and performing arts centers throughout the country. As it turns out, Fosberg also has ancestral ties to a Civil war hero, a Negro League baseball star, and the abolitionist John Brown, among other interesting connections and turns of events.
