Big Idea Theatre continues​ ​its 11th season, IDENTITY CRISIS, with the hilarious and tender BOOOTYCANDY by Robert O’Hara directed by Anthony D’Juan. The show opens on August 10th and runs through September 8th, with performances Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm.

*CONTAINS ADULT THEMES AND SEXUAL CONTENT INCLUDING NUDITY*

About the show: Winner of the 27th Annual Lambda Literary Award, Best LGBT Drama of 2014/15. Robert O’Hara’s semi-biographical subversive comedy tells the story of Sutter, who is on an outrageous odyssey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms, and even nursing homes. O’Hara weaves together scenes, sermons, sketches, and daring meta-theatrics to create a kaleidoscope that interconnects to portray growing up gay and black. Robert O’Hara’s uproarious satire crashes headlong into the murky terrain of pain and pleasure and… BOOTYCANDY.

“FUNNY, SMUTTY AND ENTICINGLY SUBVERSIVE. A Toxically Satiric Portrait of American Life.” – Washington Post
