Bigger is a new play by artist-in-residence Calvin J. Walker that explores Black masculinity, intimacy, and mental health through layered storytelling and emotionally charged performances. The work examines the legacy and psychological impact of the Mandingo complex, the hypersexualized stereotype historically imposed on Black men, interrogating how fetishization shapes self-worth, vulnerability, and the ability to be fully seen. The cast includes Bryson Chalk as DJ, Bryant Huggins as Roger, Jacobie Thornton as Zay, and Tim Meadows as Chad. A post-show talkback moderated by Dother Sykes will follow the Saturday evening performance.
