The Brothers Size

April 20 – May 18, 2025

From Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight, Choir Boy) comes a story of freedom and family. Steadfast and responsible, Ogun Size fights to connect with Oshoosi, his aimless younger brother, who has recently been released from prison. Weaving together the mundane and the mystic, this play invites us into the Louisiana Bayou, showing us a world of poetry, stories from the Yoruban cosmology, and music. A fresh and contemporary tale of belonging, brotherhood and the ties that bind.
