…BUT YOU COULD’VE HELD MY HAND
Workshop prodUCTION PLAYING June 4-15, 2026
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!
IAMA will conclude its 18th season with the workshop production of …but you could’ve held my hand, written by JuCoby Johnson and directed by H. Adam Harris. This bold new work is a tender, poetic exploration of identity, connection, and the spaces people carve out for one another.
…but you could’ve held my hand is a time-hopping portrait of four Black friends growing up, growing apart, and growing into themselves. From a stolen slice of wedding cake at age 10 to the complexities of adulthood, the play is a non-linear swirl of past and present, pulsing with 90s R&B, prom night confessions, awkward first kisses, and more. Through love, queerness, and friends-turned-family, the play showcases the beauty and heartbreak of the evolution of relationships across a lifetime.
