“Keep a song in your heart, and you will always find your way”—that’s what Jay’s mom always said. And sure enough, music is what reconnects him to his family when he clears out their West Philadelphia house to be sold.
When Jay finds an old record collection of disco, R&B, and classic soul, he is transported by the vibrant soundtrack of his youth through memories of coming of age and coming out in the 1970s and 80s. Tender, funny, and “blazingly charismatic” (The New York Times), A Boy and His Soul is a one-man show best enjoyed, according to the playwright, with a glass of scotch and wearing your favorite kaftan.
