Theater for Everyone: Fat Ham
Join Kamilah Bush, Portland Center Stage's Literary Manager and Dramaturg, in examining this Pulitzer prize-winning modern reimagining of Hamlet. Includes a backstage tour and a performance.
Class one: introduction to the play. Class two: backstage tour and performance. (A week after Juicy's father dies, he finds himself at a backyard barbecue celebrating the marriage of his mother and uncle - sound familiar? James Ijames's Pulitzer Prize-winning reimagining of Hamlet casts the sweet prince of Denmark as a queer, Black boy from the South. In this comedy born from tragedy, Juicy must choose between seeking vengeance for his father's death or staying true to his own heart - a story of identity, family, and liberation as we become our truest selves.) Class three: discuss what you experienced and get recommendations for what to seek out next.
