Playwright Robert OHara
Director Jay Northcott

The durational comedy of parental hypocrisy. A reverend in high heels. A formal lesbian breakup at a tropical destination.

The THEYHEARD folks are trying to start new rumours, but fortunately, weve got a lot of witnesses. Bootycandy shows us a young mans experience of power, permissibility, and privilege from the childhood dinner table to the playwrights circle to the dark disarray of a strangers hotel room. Robert OHaras meta-theatrical, semi-autobiographical dark comedy fleshes out an intricate embodiment of Black queer life.
