We start in a Starbucks. The director Alex Tobey and the design team do a nice job using the intimate Tank space to amplify the stylized, kooky world of this play.

At its core, the experimental play is about Harris Singer, exploring themes of sexuality, love, pain, self-discovery and self-preservation. The director, Luke Wisniewski, and the design team work well to bring Singer's unique vision to life in a consistently visually engaging way. The piece has no shortage of interesting ideas.

Theatre Night Out: Why theatre? Why not just go and create a Youtube video and call it a day? Ryan Stevens: I prefer theatre to any other art form because theatre is immediate. You get the people in the room to figure out how to do the show, then you get the rest of the people (the audience) in the room to witness what you’ve rehearsed and be in the same room, breathing the same air, as the performers.
