Hilarious and heartbreaking, one-man play 'Doodu Boy' is the true, personal story of Stefhen Bryan as he struggles to find love in the face of his abusive mother and absent father. From a harrowing childhood on a church commune in a Kingston Jamaica ghetto, where he falls into the communal cesspool and earns his nickname, to an escape to America where he has long dreamt of road trips with his dad, life never seems to fulfill Stefhen's hopes. After multiple attempts on his own life, learning the shocking truth of his origins, and a show-down with an NYPD armada, Stefhen ultimately leaves the West to begin a rebirth in Japan. There, in the midst of a sexual rampage, he meets a girl who promises the beginnings of deep connection that he always needed. "Doodu Boy is a funny, powerful testament to the human spirit and a universal story of hope and redemption."
Stefhen Bryan is the author of the critically acclaimed, 'Black Passenger Yellow Cabs: A Memoir of Exile and Excess in Japan,' the novel, 'Only Begotten,' which is currently being adapted to film and most recently the solo play, 'Doodu Boy,' in which he's is also the performer. Plagued by depression, suicidal ideations, learning disabilities and behavioral problems, Bryan dropped out of high school both in his native Jamaica and in America. But thanks to the California Community College System (CSM), he earned a degree in Economics from UCLA. In 2001, after years spent in and out of California's penal system, Bryan made a sea change and found rebirth and a home in Japan, of all places.
Doodu Boy is his critically acclaimed, AUDELCO AWARD NOMINEE autobiographical piece, which he's performed across America - including on and off Broadway - Japan and Jamaica. His most recent performances in Japan were in English, but he will be returning there to perform in Japanese. Performances in Spanish will commence in 2016.
