    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

    Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames reinvents Shakespeare’s masterpiece with a delectable comic tragedy in Fat Ham. Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. It feels like a familiar story to Juicy, well-versed in Hamlet’s woes. What’s different is Juicy himself, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy. [From Concord Theatricals]

    This show contains strong language and adult references.  Recommended for ages 16 and up.

    In The Legend of Georgia McBride, Casey is an Elvis impersonator struggling to make a living in a Panama City Beach dive bar. He’s young, broke, behind on rent, and now his wife is pregnant. To make matters worse, Casey gets fired, losing his gig to a second-rate drag show. Before “the King” leaves the building, however, a twist of fate and a makeover by some fabulous new friends provide Casey a second chance to make it in showbiz. It’s a wildly entertaining story about friendship, acceptance, and finding a family in the unlikeliest of places. The production features a soundtrack of pop and country songs and is filled with snappy zingers and dance-worthy numbers. [From Dramatists Play Service]
