Buy TicketsTo celebrate Pride Month, this performance is an hilarious, yet moving story of a comedian who fought for gay marriage in a small island nation. The comedian is Roderick Ferguson and the nation is Bermuda. It’s a story told with lots of humor, songs, and a little drama! Directed by the incomparable Faith Prince, with original arrangements by Bobby Peaco, this show debuted in Provincetown, MA with a splash! Jim Rice lends his incredible talent on piano for this performance.
