Playwright, actor, and director Reggie D. White joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about the world premiere of his powerful new play Fremont Ave., now running at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. Through three generations of Black men bound by love, silence, and the game of Spades, Reggie weaves a story that’s as funny as it is deeply human. He opens up about what inspired this multigenerational journey, the process of bringing it to life on one of the nation’s leading regional stages, and how family, identity, and truth all collide on Fremont Ave.
We dive into how the collaboration with director Lili-Anne Brown shaped the production, the incredible cast bringing these characters to life, and the emotional resonance audiences are feeling from October 8 – November 23, 2025, in Arena Stage’s Kreeger Theater. From the writing room to opening night, Reggie shares his heart, his heritage, and the creative spirit driving this unforgettable world premiere.
🎙 The Roundtable with Robert Bannon streams on BroadwayWorld, iHeartRadio, Spotify, YouTube, and more.
