Take a wild ride through the mind of Sutter, a young man navigating his identity as a Black gay man in a world that doesn’t always want to understand him. In this bold and bitingly funny coming-of-age story, playwright Robert O’Hara shatters conventions with a mashup of vignettes, sermons, sketches, and fourth-wall-breaking theatrical moments. From awkward childhood memories to eye-opening adult revelations, Bootycandy fuses outrageous satire with unflinching honesty, confronting themes of race, sexuality, and cultural expectation with fearless flair.
Praised by The New York Times as “smart, searing, and sensationally funny,” Bootycandy is a kaleidoscopic exploration of identity and survival that is as entertaining as it is provocative.
