Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet by Tarell Alvin McCraney聽聽

November 1, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:15 pm

Directed by Irvin Mason, Jr.
October 31, November 1, 3鈥4 at 7:30 p.m. and November 1 at 2 p.m.
Don Buchwald Theater

Marcus is sixteen. And 鈥渟weet.鈥
That鈥檚 what folks say 鈥 in whispers, in warnings, in the way they look but don鈥檛 speak.
Days before Hurricane Katrina strikes, Marcus begins searching 鈥
for his father鈥檚 past, his own truth, and a name for the sweetness he carries.
Set in the housing projects of San Pere, Louisiana,
this coming-of-age story blends grief, queerness, and Southern Black tradition
with the lyricism of Yoruba spirituality and community memory.
Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet is the final story in Tarell Alvin McCraney鈥檚 Brother/Sister trilogy.
It鈥檚 fierce. Funny. Full of spirit.
A baptism in rain, rhythm, and revelation.
Come if you are ready to listen.
To witness.
To sit with the things that go unsaid,
the truths that live in gesture,
glance,
and rain.
