SUMMARY:Ohio University's Vibrancy Theater presents a production of 'Bootycandy'
DESCRIPTION:ATHENS\, Ohio – April 10 – April 19\, Ohio University’s Vibrancy Theater presents a production of Bootycandy\, a play written by Robert O’Hara and directed by Devin Ty Franklin as their M.F.A. thesis production. \nA Black queer odyssey navigating childhood and sexuality\, O’Hara’s semi-autobiographical comedy offers us rage\, reflection\, and… a rack of ribs. What lengths are you willing to take to be embraced as you are\, and does safety always outweigh authenticity? \n \nDRAMATURGICAL NOTE\nComedy has always been integral to our performance traditions\, with playwrights and artists leveraging it for social and political commentary and serving as a societal equalizer. West African Yoruba performances employed masquerade and parody to subtly undermine solemn rituals\, while the Greek playwright Aristophanes openly ridiculed specific individuals in his comedies. Molière’s French farces comedically questioned the boundaries between self and performance. \nIn 15th-century Japan\, kabuki performers used parodic drag to create comedic role reversals that challenged samurai culture and the status quo. The Korean kut\, a shamanistic ritual historically performed by women\, served as a “safety valve” for the oppressed to mock their oppressors without fear. From Yoruba to ancient Greece\, from French farce to the kut\, comedy has proven to be an essential tool for playful ridicule. \nRobert O’Hara’s semi-autobiographical and provocative subversive comedy\, Bootycandy\, premiered at Woolly Mammoth in 2011. The play unfolds the experiences of Sutter\, a young gay Black man\, on a fearless journey through his childhood home\, church\, bars\, and motel rooms. At times moving\, shocking\, humorous\, and insightful\, Bootycandy showcases a vibrant variation of vignettes\, sermons\, sketches\, and audacious meta-theatrics. From scene to scene\, the play humorously shifts back and forth across space and time\, with O’Hara utilizing four other actors to portray various characters from Sutter’s life. O’Hara employs biting and hilarious social satire to explore the interplay of pain and pleasure while taking a candid look at views on homosexuality within Black culture. \nIn Bootycandy\, O’Hara capitalizes on the historical use of comedy while building on his own lexicon of performance traditions. Performance scholar Julinda Lewis argues that the play draws on Africanist aesthetics\, suggesting it operates with a polycentric rhythm that allows for quick shifts between comedic and serious elements\, often employing both simultaneously. O’Hara also draws from the theatrical traditions of his mentor\, George C. Wolfe\, whose play The Colored Museum utilized “signifying” as a rhetorical strategy for Black gay men. \nAs scholar Charles I. Nero defines it\, signifying plays with language to convey its message subtextually and subversively\, as seen in the wit and wordplay found in “reading” and camp practices in Harlem ballrooms. This signifying is evident throughout the play\, whether in the double entendre found in the “Ceremony” scene or in the ludicrous wordplay and irony that occurs over a “Happy Meal.” \nWhat ultimately results in Bootycandy is what theatre scholar Isaiah Matthew Wooden describes as a “dramaturgy of the defamiliarizing\,” where familiar social categories (such as Blackness\, gayness\, masculinity\, family\, etc.) are reinterpreted as strange and disordered. These social constructs are revealed as restrictive and ripe for humorous critique and new understanding. \nBootycandy playfully mocks\, challenges\, and interrogates our cherished beliefs\, what we often accept uncritically\, and what causes us the deepest pain. In doing so\, the play allows for the reclamation of self beyond the myth of personal perfection and the constraints of respectability politics. \nO’Hara describes his theater as one where “everyone is welcome\, and no one is safe.” And to that\, we conclude: welcome.\n– Tyler Adams\, Dramaturg \nDATES\nApril 10 – 12 & 16 – 18 @ 8pm. \nApril 12 & 19 @ 2pm \nThe Elizabeth Evans Baker Theater\, Kantner Hall\, 19 South College Street\, Athens\, OH 45701\nTalk-back after the show on Thursday 4/17.\nThere will be one 10-minute intermission. \nTICKETS\nArts For Ohio provides FREE Student Rush tickets with an OU ID for each performance at the venue provided tickets are not sold out. \nCONTENT ADVISORY\n“Bootycandy” contains sexually explicit material.

SUMMARY:Ohio University's Vibrancy Theater presents a production of 'Bootycandy'
DESCRIPTION:ATHENS\, Ohio – April 10 – April 19\, Ohio University’s Vibrancy Theater presents a production of Bootycandy\, a play written by Robert O’Hara and directed by Devin Ty Franklin as their M.F.A. thesis production. \nA Black queer odyssey navigating childhood and sexuality\, O’Hara’s semi-autobiographical comedy offers us rage\, reflection\, and… a rack of ribs. What lengths are you willing to take to be embraced as you are\, and does safety always outweigh authenticity? \n \nDRAMATURGICAL NOTE\nComedy has always been integral to our performance traditions\, with playwrights and artists leveraging it for social and political commentary and serving as a societal equalizer. West African Yoruba performances employed masquerade and parody to subtly undermine solemn rituals\, while the Greek playwright Aristophanes openly ridiculed specific individuals in his comedies. Molière’s French farces comedically questioned the boundaries between self and performance. \nIn 15th-century Japan\, kabuki performers used parodic drag to create comedic role reversals that challenged samurai culture and the status quo. The Korean kut\, a shamanistic ritual historically performed by women\, served as a “safety valve” for the oppressed to mock their oppressors without fear. From Yoruba to ancient Greece\, from French farce to the kut\, comedy has proven to be an essential tool for playful ridicule. \nRobert O’Hara’s semi-autobiographical and provocative subversive comedy\, Bootycandy\, premiered at Woolly Mammoth in 2011. The play unfolds the experiences of Sutter\, a young gay Black man\, on a fearless journey through his childhood home\, church\, bars\, and motel rooms. At times moving\, shocking\, humorous\, and insightful\, Bootycandy showcases a vibrant variation of vignettes\, sermons\, sketches\, and audacious meta-theatrics. From scene to scene\, the play humorously shifts back and forth across space and time\, with O’Hara utilizing four other actors to portray various characters from Sutter’s life. O’Hara employs biting and hilarious social satire to explore the interplay of pain and pleasure while taking a candid look at views on homosexuality within Black culture. \nIn Bootycandy\, O’Hara capitalizes on the historical use of comedy while building on his own lexicon of performance traditions.

SUMMARY:Multicultural Genealogical Center Speaker and Light Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Tom O’Grady will talk about The Burr Oak Connection:  Interesting Characters from Morgan\, Athens and Perry Counties at the Multicultural Genealogical Center in Chesterhill\, Ohio.  Once asked to give a history of the area that became Burr Oak Lake\, Tom realized he was ignorant of the story of the farms and churches along the tributaries of Sunday Creek that were inundated with the installation of the Congressman Tom Jenkins Dam.  But\, he could tell stories about some of the interesting characters. \n  \nTom O’Grady sailed as a deck worker on the Great Lakes aboard the ore carrier\, S.S. Middletown\, a sister-ship of the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald. He served two years in the armed forces with a tour in South Korea. Tom surveyed for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In 1984 he launched the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in the state of Ohio in Athens County. Tom has been promoting waste reduction and a sustainable economy for more than forty years.  He has been a voice for the preservation of the historic Athens Asylum.  O’Grady has also been an instructor of Observational Astronomy in the evenings at Ohio University for forty years. He has spent the past twenty-five years as a student of Ohio history researching its natural and cultural geography\, the mound builders\, the barnbuilders and regional settlement\, Ohio canals\, iron furnaces\, and several of Ohio’s interesting characters and their stories. O’Grady is a founding board member of Friends of Ohio Barns and serves on the board of Ohio’s Hill Country Heritage Area. Tom has been working with the leadership of the Athens County Historical Society\, now the Southeast Ohio History Center\, for more than 25 years.
