BOOTYCANDY tells the story of Sutter, who is on an outrageous journey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms, and even a nursing home. The play tells his story through scenes, sermons, sketches and meta-theatrics. (Sort of “In Living Color” and “Saturday Night Live” style, and very non-politically correct.)

All except Actor Two play multiple roles

ACTOR ONE: Black Woman (age 20-30), plays Young Black Mom, Adella, Big Shirley, Writer 1, Young Sibling, Intifada
ACTOR TWO: Black Man (age 20-30), plays Sutter
ACTOR THREE: Black Woman (age 30-40), plays Eudarrie, Lucy, Writer 2, Middle Aged Mother, Genitalia
ACTOR FOUR: Black Man (age 30-40), plays Reverend Benson, Writer 3, Stepfather, Larry, Old Granny
ACTOR FIVE: White Male (age 20-40), plays Roy, Clint, Moderator, Officiant, White Man

NOTE:  This is a gay satire so there will be some guy-on-guy kissing. If this is a problem, then this ain’t the play and theater for you.  Also,
maybe there might be some brief nudity on the part of Actor Five.
