Rashada Dawan has been cast as Chaz Ebert alongside the previously announced Kevin Pollack as Roger Ebert in the world premiere musical “The BlackWhite Love Play: The Story of Chaz and Roger Ebert” at Black Ensemble Theater.
The Chicago born-and-raised actress is a bona fide “triple threat” — the hugely respectful theatrical term for actors/singer/dancers. Her credits include work with Black Ensemble Theatre (“The Other Cinderella”), BoHo Theatre (“Big River”), and Bailiwick Chicago (“Aida”).
