 On Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30, Artistic Associate Derek Van Barham will direct an informal staged reading of a new work by Topher Payne - Angry Fags.
Cooper and Bennett are not a gay couple- just a couple of gays. When one of their friends is the victim of an assault outside a local bar, they feel helpless, frightened, and then they feel something new: pure, unfiltered rage. Cooper presents the argument that no one is granted the rights they deserve until people are a little afraid of them. And no one is afraid of gay guys. Not really. They set out to change that.
An Oscar Wilde-meets-Fight Club fever dream about how good ideas go bad, with
fascinating forays into American politics, bomb building, and pistachios.
The reading is at Stage 773 (1225 W Belmont Ave). This event is PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN at the door. No reservations necessary.
The reading features Nelson Rodriguez*,
Kevin Webb*, Jude Hansen*, Alexander St. John*, Carmen Molina, Michelle McKenzie-Voigt*, Joan McGrath*, and David Besky*.

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It is not very often I am caught
off guard by a production, but Pride Film and Play's World Premiere of Martin Casella's
Directions for Restoring the Apparently Dead did just that. Movingly directed by David Zak, Directions for Restoring the Apparently Dead touches on an authenticity of relationships that is rarely seen.
