THE PLAY

Based on a real weekend, a sultry one-night stand turns into a short romance that changes the course of two queer folx's lives. A, a queer moreno Fil-Am New Yorker, visits B, a queer Afro-Puerto Rican Korean American, in Chicopee, Massachusetts. In the face of death, grieving, and loneliness, the weekend lovers discover for themselves the quiet moments between them that affirm their existence in this world - one that constantly tells them that they are not enough to be alive. Performed around dinner tables lined with food for the audience to partake in (the play is Filipino after all), the play's narrative is non-chronological and interspersed are five original songs performed by the two lovers themselves. Part play, part concert, part dinner theatre, an unconventional love story, and a celebration of life.
