ONE NIGHT ONLY: A 20th-anniversary staged reading of WHITE BOY, Michael Patrick Spillers’ gay romantic comedy about a young man from Missouri who falls for a Chicano homeboy from East LA.
A lot has changed since this sexy intercultural memoir toured sold-out venues across SoCal in the 1990s. Our staged reading of WHITE BOY will be followed by an intimate discussion about how the play’s themes resonate with a new generation. How does privilege play a role? When do archetypes become stereotypes? Where do we draw the line between attraction and objectification?
Join us for an honest and provocative conversation about what happens when white boys and brown boys share space, tell each other’s stories, and navigate the delicate politics of desire.
