Black Artists Contemporary Cultural Experience in association with Brava present Robert O'Hara's outrageous comedy Bootycandy.
With more than a passing homage to George C. Wolfe's Colored Museum, Bootycandy is a series of sketches that follows the story of Sutter as he embarks on an outrageous odyssey of his boyhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms and even nursing homes in a kaleidoscope of meta-theatrics that weave a portrait of growing up black and gay in America. The play's interrogation of the intersection of blackness, queerness, and artistry, and its style of satirical and thoughtful comedy, is key to understanding black theatricality.
