Fat Ham
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 06/29/2025
This uproariously funny, Pulitzer Prize-winning new play is a modern revamp of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Fat Ham follows Juicy, a queer, pensive, young Black man finding his way in the world when the ghost of his father demands Juicy avenge his murder. Set at the family cookout, this “hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy” (The New York Times) examines love, loss, and a particular set of daddy issues.

Content Advisory: A comedic take on Hamlet, this 2022 Pulitzer Prize–winning play about family drama at a backyard bbq and wedding reception contains frank (and often hilarious) discussions of sex, violence, murder, and adult situations (much like Shakespeare). Due to the mature content in the play, it may be best suited to high school ages and up. Parental discretion is advised.
