Show Description:
A STRANGE LOOP follows Usher, who introduces himself in the show's first moments as “a young overweight-to-obese homosexual and/or gay and/or queer, cisgender male, able-bodied university-and-graduate-school educated, musical-theater writing, Disney-ushering, broke-ass middle-class far-Left-leaning Black-identified-and-classified American descendant of slaves full of self-conscious femme energy [who] thinks he’s probably a vers bottom.”
Usher’s consciousness is conjured onstage through a six-person ensemble embodying his “Thoughts.” They effortlessly shift from playing abstract ideas to historical figures to real-life family members. The constant interplay between the Thoughts heightens their cruelty and playfulness, paradoxically underlining each performer’s individuality.
Usher (Tenor) - As Described in Show Description - introduces himself in the show's first moments as “a young overweight-to-obese homosexual and/or gay and/or queer, cisgender male, able-bodied university-and-graduate-school educated, musical-theater writing, Disney-ushering, broke-ass middle-class far-Left-leaning Black-identified-and-classified American descendant of slaves full of self-conscious femme energy [who] thinks he’s probably a vers bottom.”
Thought 1 (Mezzo-Soprano) – Often blends warmth with passive-aggression.
Thought 2 (Tenor) – Often represents insecurities, self-criticism, and doubts.
Thought 3 (Tenor) – Sarcastic, sharp, and brutally honest.
Thought 4 (Tenor) – Seductive and smooth.
Thought 5 (Bass) – Deep, authoritative, and oppressive.
Thought 6 (Baritone) – A shape-shifter - comedic, harsh, and tender.
