Oregon Shakespeare Festival Presents Fat Ham

A Southern-fried take on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In james’s sizzling cookout comedy, the grill isn’t the only thing turning up the heat. This deliciously funny play follows Juicy, a queer Black kid living in the South. When the ghost of his dead father appears at a family BBQ demanding revenge for his murder, Juicy must grapple with the decision to heed his phantom father’s advice or remain true to himself. The 2022 Pulitzer Prize–winning riff on Shakespeare’s Hamlet is directed by Elizabeth Carter.

OSF Thomas Theater

The Thomas Theatre was born out of the tradition of the Black Swan—OSF’s intimate and greatly loved third theatre venue that closed its doors to performances at the end of the 2001 season. After 25 years, the need for a more flexible performance space became overwhelming. In the Thomas Theatre, as in the Black Swan, OSF continues its commitment to exploring different styles of theatre that create a provocative dialogue with the classic repertory produced in the Allen Elizabethan and Angus Bowmer Theatres.
