Hell-bent on breaking free of his own self-perception, Usher, a young, gay, black writer who hates his day job, writes a musical about a young, gay, black writer who’s writing a musical about a young, gay, black writer... a strange loop.
Usher grapples with desires, identity and instincts he both loves and loathes, all brought to life on stage by a straight-talking ensemble.
