Acclaimed solo play by performer/activist Ryan F. Casey returns for a limited engagement.
Thursday, September 11 at The Stonewall Inn
Ryan F. Casey will present their acclaimed solo play WHAT HAPPENS TO BOYS IN CHELSEA in a new monthly residency at The Stonewall Inn beginning Thursday, September 11.
In 2006, Foster Lawrence sets out on the town for a night out with friends. He ends up in a stranger's home. And then splattered, clinging to his life, on the New York City asphalt. Ten years later Foster sets out on the town once more -- to find out what happened that night. We follow Foster navigate the New York City terrain and New York City Police Department as he begins to understand his trajectory juxtaposed to queer history, societal constructs - and as per the NYPD - WHAT HAPPENS TO BOYS IN CHELSEA.
