BLACK BASTARD, the award-winning solo show by Jon Gentry, transports us to 1990s Houston in a humorous, heartfelt coming-of-age story shaped by curiosity, imagination, and survival. When his family fractures, Jon is thrust into the role of “man of the house,” launching a search for identity in a world eager to define him before he can define himself.
Through literature, clowning, original song, and a kaleidoscope of characters, Gentry creates a theatrical landscape that is as playful as it is piercing, blending 90s nostalgia with sharp socio-cultural insight. As he searches for his absent father, Jon must confront not only what he might find, but who he is becoming.
Raw, inventive, and deeply human, BLACK BASTARD challenges assumptions and asks what it means to belong and to finally feel at home.
