These are my memories / Of one lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord.

Usher is a black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical: a piece about a black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical.

Michael R. Jackson’
s blistering, momentous new musical follows a young artist at war with a host of demons — not least of which, the punishing thoughts in his own head — in an attempt to capture and understand his own strange loop.

Produced in association with Page 73
