  • From the KPBS Spring Arts Guide: Playwright James Ijames won a Pulitzer Prize for drama for his spin on Shakespeare's "Hamlet," which brings us Juicy, a queer, smart, Black college student faced with the ghost of his father who shows up at a family barbecue looking for revenge. But these generational woes don't quite play out like Hamlet himself might have expected. Ijames' take is about finding agency and stepping out of the cycles of trauma and violence. Directed by Sideeq Heard at The Old Globe. Details: "Fat Ham." May 25 through June 23. The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park. Tickets on sale April 12. From the theater: By James Ijames Original direction by Saheem Ali Directed by Sideeq Heard The 2022 Pulitzer-winning, Tony-nominated sensation Fat Ham is a fresh and funny take on Shakespeare’s Hamlet that The New York Times called “a flat-out hilarious comedy.” During a Southern family cookout, Juicy is confronted by the ghost of his father, who demands revenge for his murder. But Juicy, a young, queer, Black man, has enough on his plate. James Ijames’s remarkable play uses uproarious humor and profound insight to explore the conflict between what you owe your family and what you owe yourself. “Smart, fearless, and wildly entertaining” (The Chicago Tribune). This production includes strong language, mature themes, sexual content, and mild violence.

  • One of the most renowned and enduring American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, Jasper Johns (b. 1930) has had a career spanning many decades. This exhibition features 14 works on paper by Johns, ranging in date from 1960 to 2021, including six drawings on loan from the artist. Drawing has been an essential part of Jasper Johns’ artistic practice since the mid-1950s. Printmaking would assume an equally important role in his work, beginning in 1960, when he produced his first lithographs at Universal Limited Art Editions, a print studio on Long Island. His earliest etchings date to 1967. This medium would gradually become his favorite, so much so that he established his own print studio in Connecticut after moving there in 1995. Works in this display include Two Flags (1960), Figure 2 (1973), and several from The Seasons series (1985–1991). Additionally, it includes works that feature one of his most enigmatic motifs that has recently been a subject of discussion in the art world. The central figure in Green Angel, a colored etching from 1991 that the artist gifted to the Museum, along with related works, in 2006, is a mysterious juxtaposition of shapes that he used in multiple works while never revealing its source of inspiration. In 2021, art critic John Yau published evidence that the Green Angel motif very likely arose from the contours of a sculpture by Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) entitled Torso of the Woman Centaur and Minotaur. Visitors to the Museum will now have the opportunity to see the intriguing Green Angel in a new light, alongside a number of other significant drawings and prints by this iconic artist.
