Do You Want Something To Cry For
Mya Onwugbonu and Jerome Scott

Do You Want Something To Cry For is a bold, poetic, movement-driven exploration of black boyhood, intimacy, and the weight of being seen. Written by rising playwright, Jerome Scott. Directed by multi-award winning creative Mya Onwugbonu.
Following two black boys through different iterations of themselves—teen, adolescent, adult — the play stretches poetry into dialogue, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. They navigate love, longing, and survival in a world that denies them softness. Who are they to each other? What does it mean to be seen? What does it mean to exist beyond expectation?
A story of black boys, together.
