Bootycandy Written by Robert O'Hara, Directed by Jay Northcott September 30 – October 17, 2026 The durational comedy of parental hypocrisy. A reverend in high heels. A formal lesbian breakup at a tropical destination. The THEYHEARD folks are trying to start new rumours, but fortunately, we’ve got a lot of witnesses. Bootycandy shows us a young man’s experience of power, permissibility, and privilege from the childhood dinner table to the playwrights’ circle to the dark disarray of a stranger’s hotel room. Robert O’Hara’s meta-theatrical, semi-autobiographical dark comedy fleshes out an intricate embodiment of Black queer life.
