Program Description

Event Details

To celebrate National Coming Out Day this month, our October title will focus on the experiences of Black fathers and queer sons, offering a portrait of reckoning and reconciliation. As Jacob lies dying, he begins to write a letter to his only son, Isaac. They have not met or spoken in many years, and there are things that Isaac must know: stories, secrets, and tragedies. But most of all, Jacob must share with Isaac the unspoken truths that reside in his heart. He must give voice to the trauma that Isaac has inherited. And he must create a space for the two to find peace.
