Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical, A Strange Loop marks a bold and innovative direction for Circle Theatre.
This musical follows Usher, a Black queer musical theatre writer wrestling with his thoughts — literally — as he attempts to write a musical about a Black queer musical theatre writer. Through raw honesty, biting humor, and a vibrant score,
A Strange Loop challenges conventions while exploring identity, art, and the inner turmoil of living in one's truth.
