“Strange loops are sort of about self-reference and paradox — starting in one place and ending up right back where you started, even though you think you’ve gone the distance,” Jackson told TODAY.
“I’ve loved Jennifer for years,” Jackson said. “She’s always been my cousin in my head, so it was nice to have my cousin helping produce this.”
“A Strange Loop” gives an unflinching glance at a young man becoming in a world as conflicted as his own inner life. Despite covering intensely personal situations, the play still appeals to audiences as completely universal. “For some people, the show is a mirror, and for other people the show is a window, and both of those experiences are coexisting right next to each other,” Jackson said.
Throughout the years of workshopping and adjusting, Jackson did find time to rethink his approach and find “some distance from it.” That time and space made it possible to “really write about it as a piece of art.” by the Actor’s Equity Association found that just 8% of the organization’s nearly 52,000 actors and stage managers nationwide are Black.But Black representation on Broadway has seen an upward trend that’s worth noting. In 2021, seven plays by Black playwrights with predominately Black casts debuted. Jeremy O’Harris’ “Slave Play” led audiences through a look behind the deep-rooted sexual politics of interracial relationships.
