Fat Ham by James Ijames
Partnership with Brévo Theatre and Island City Stage with the generous support of the Warten Foundation.
Hamlet, but with more barbeque and disco. Swapping a Danish castle for a North Carolina BBQ pit, Fat Ham remakes Shakespeare’s story of murder and revenge into something hilarious and profound. Juicy, a Black queer Southern kid, has a lot on his plate already when his father’s ghost shows up, demanding vengeance. As generations clash at the family’s backyard barbeque, Juicy must face the legacies of violence he’s been raised with and shape the man he wants to be. Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize. This historic three-way co-production is made possible through major funding from the Warten Foundation.A South Florida Premiere.

Step By Step
Three women go on a two-day hike up a hill to honor a recently deceased friend, each carrying an inscribed stone to place as a monument at the peak. But they must get there first and the climb will be as challenging, unexpected, ridiculous and hilarious as life itself. Written by the acclaimed author known for his hit Broadway play End of the Rainbow, which inspired the Oscar-winning film "Judy" starring Renée Zellweger, Step By Step is a theatrical gem. This United States premiere is a rollercoaster of memories, emotions, and personal revelations, showcasing comedic brilliance through witty dialogue and clever one-liners that will leave audiences laughing out loud.
