Short Plays Where the Queers Win (mostly)

Seven new plays about the intimate “behind the scenes” of Queer relationships from LOM playwright Nolan Kennedy. These plays range from hook-ups to break-ups, from midnight murderers to garbage barge rides. Each piece hones in on the moments of joy, struggle, decision, and anticipation that prisms life for Queer people in the world today. With a diverse cast and creative team comprised of some of the most promising Queer, Trans, and Womxn talents in NYC, this anthology of works triumphs over isolation and loneliness, mostly. Above all, they yearn for connection, validation, embrace, and humanity.
