Fat Ham

Thu, Mar 26, 2026 – Sun, Apr 19, 2026

FAT HAM by James Ijames Directed by Donnie L. Betts\nFriday, March 27 - Sunday, April 19, 2026 | Mainstage Theater COLORADO PREMIERE! Playwright James Ijames reinvents Shakespeare’s masterpiece with his new drama, a delectable comic tragedy. Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. It feels like a familiar story to Juicy, well-versed in Hamlet’s woes. What’s different is Juicy himself, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy. Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this first-run production is a must-see.\nRECOMMENDED FOR: 14+\nCONTENT ADVISORY: Contains crude language, adult situations, and simulated violence.
