and ticket information.

Crossroads, Detours, & Exits premieres tomorrow, Wednesday, May 4, at 8pm!

Here's what you need to know.

Tomorrow night, Crossroads, Detours, and Exits will be our first in-person show since 2019! Thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this moment. Crossroads, Detours, and Exits is a candidly personal interrogation from JR "Nexus" Russ of his identities, particularly being Black, Filipino American, and Queer, particularly sharing those moments when life took a turn. A DC community staple, Busboys and Poets is the perfect space to join Nexus in this exploration of self, community, and home.
