VOCA: A Strange Loop

Meet Usher: a Black, Deaf queer writer writing a musical about a black, Deaf queer writer. This 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, Deaf and queer-ass Great American Musical for all!

All performances will be in spoken English, American Sign Language (ASL), and captions.
