Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson
- By Chris Grace
- Directed by Eric Michaud
JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More
Chris Grace is Scarlett Johansson. Or maybe Scarlett Johansson is Chris Grace. Either way, only one of them played a Japanese cyborg in Ghost in the Shell. In a tour-de-force one-person farce that The Guardian describes as “mind and character bending,” Asian American actor and comedian Chris Grace explores the bounds of an artist’s identity. With the help of an ever-growing pile of wigs, Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson celebrates two of Hollywood’s most beloved Asian actors.
Winner, Hollywood Encore Producer’s Award, 2023.
