“Black Bastard” transports audiences to 1990s Houston in a humorous, heartfelt coming-of-age tale. Jon, an inquisitive Black boy, develops a love for literature until his family fractures, thrusting him into the role of “man of the house.” A comedic spiral ensues as Jon grapples with his identity. An inciting confrontation propels Jon’s search for his absent father, exploring themes of masculinity and self-actualization through artful techniques and nostalgic references. Queer. Southern. Creole. The piece contends that all humans are collective “bastards” on an eternal quest for selfhood and someplace to call home amid constantly evolving identities.
The show was honored with the Soaring Solo Social Impact Award and the Best of Asylum Overall Award at the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Performances are live and simulcast. RSVP required.
