FAT HAM
By James James
Directed by Jerrell L. Henderson
January 29 - February 16, 2025
What if the hero of the story wasn’t who everyone expected? Step aside, Hamlet. Meet Juicy, a young Southern queer college boy grappling with grief, identity…and now the ghost of his father demanding vengeance for his murder!? Set against the backdrop of a family wedding barbecue, will the poetic and sensitive Juicy lose his courage to get the answers he needs or will he find the strength to ‘his own self, be true.’ This Pulitzer-Prize-winning adaptation by James Ijames serves you a juicy blend of comedy, drama, and social commentary with a side of soul food; and reimagines this timeless classic with a bold and innovative look that shatters stereotypes and celebrates identity, togetherness, and the meaning of family.
