Fat Ham
by James Ijames
Directed by Anthony D’Juan
Assistant Director Alissa Doyle
March 18 – April 19, 2026
2022 Pulitzer Prize Winner
NY TIMES Critic’s Pick
Sacramento Premiere

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.

CRITIC’S PICK! “Hot and sizzling… A raucous, flat-out hilarious comedy… Fat Ham is a revelation.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES

TICKETS: $35-$70

PERFORMANCE LENGTH: 1 Hour, 30 Minutes, No Intermission

FEATURING: James Simpson, Brooklynn T. Solomon, Brandon Rubin*, Kali Honeywood,
Tarig Elsiddig*, Sené Goss, Xzavier Beacham*
