Click/ A Midsummer Night's Conversation

Directed by Kevin Moore

$10 (All tickets General Admission)

Asher, TX '82 is a new one-act play by local playwright, Bruce R. Coleman. In this world premiere, four teens from a small Texas town, confronted by a violent act of bullying, must choose to stay as they are or change forever.

Presented in an evening with Asher TX '82, are two short plays by Austin playwright, Allan Baker. Originally presented at the Austin Pride Festival, Click discovers two gay guys online on a Saturday night trying to hook up, each for a somewhat different reason. Jason sees easy sex as a way to avoid intimacy. Michael sees it as a way to get to intimacy more quickly. In A Midsummer Night's Conversation, a gay couple must face a critical moment just four months into their relationship. It's a time for honesty, intimacy and total self-exposure. And one of the two is an actor...a very good actor.
