Meet Usher: a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer writing a musical about a Black, queer writer.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, blisteringly funny masterwork exposes the heart and soul of a young artist grappling with desires, identity and instincts he both loves and loathes. Hell-bent on breaking free of his own self-perception, Usher wrestles with the thoughts in his head, brought to life on stage by a hilarious, straight-shooting ensemble. Bold and heartfelt in its truth-telling, A Strange Loop is the big, Black and queer-ass Great American Musical for all!
DC Performance Dates: July 23rd through August 16th
Austin Performance Dates: August 29th through September 14th
