The limited engagement plays through Oct. 12 at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater at 416 West 42nd Street.

The cast includes three-time Helen Hayes Award nominee Jessica Frances Dukes (Insurrection: Holding History), Phillip James Brannon (The City of Conversation, Belleville, Love and Information), Jesse Pennington (Rodney's Wife and Franny's Way at PH; Richard II), Benja Kay Thomas (Insurrection: Holding History, Unspeakable, Pearl's Gone Blue) and Lance Coadie Williams (New York debut).

According to Playwrights Horizons, "Sutter (Phillip James Brannon) is on an outrageous odyssey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms and even nursing homes. A kaleidoscope of sketches that interconnect to portray growing up gay and black, Robert O'Hara's subversive, uproarious satire crashes headlong into the murky terrain of pain and pleasure and… Bootycandy."

The production features scenic and costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by two-time Tony Award nominee Japhy Weideman, sound design by Lindsay Jones and projection design by Aaron Rhyne. The production stage manager is Marisa Levy.

Bootycandy had its world premiere at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company (Washington, DC) in June 2011.
