Why are you the way that you are? What’s your root? And most importantly, when Tyra said “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you” did she mean it? Actor, writer, and comedian Chris Murphy is back and once again getting to the root of our issues, our problems, and our desires. Packed with comedy, music, dance, drag, and more, Roots is a variety-meets-talk-show featuring some of NYC’s hottest acts that explores where we came from and where we’re going. With performances by Tessa Belle, Sydney Duncan, and Randall Otis.
This show is curated by Chris Murphy, who is an Ars Nova Vision Resident
