Supported Productions

The Weissberger Foundation is thrilled to support the world premiere of Dakar 2000 by Rajiv Joseph at the Manhattan Theatre Club.

In Senegal on the eve of Y2K, an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer survives a mysterious car accident. An imposing State Department operative arrives at his hospital where she immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn’t be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can’t come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC), Dakar 2000 features Abubakr Ali and Mia Barron. Dakar 2000 was commissioned by MTC through the Bank of America New Play Program.
