Summary

From hoo-ha to dingaling, from foo foo to weiner, in almost every family there’s no shortage of safe words parents come up with to describe private parts to their kids.

In the family of award winning writer director Robert O’Hara, they called his fun stick “bootycandy,” so when he grew up he wrote a play called “Bootycandy” that tells the coming of age story of young boy who has to learn what it means to grow up gay and black.
