- The Faggot Museum: An evening of gay men who talk too much
Monologues, objects and sounds comprise a gallery of faggots, representing a time and an attitude that existed before “queer,” “outing,” and the International Male Catalogue. The play displays the men that society stereotypes as faggots: from the hyper-dramatic musical comedy queen, to the effete collector of antique earthenware; from the opera buff, to the man who lives by affirmations. Each of these faggots comes out through humor, sympathy and honesty.

- phidias8
During his late night journeys on the Web, Erik becomes “phidias8,” a keyboard chameleon who adapts his persona in response to the desires of the men he meets on line. With little effort and less thought, he changes several lives from the comfort of his home computer in this darkly comic look into the world of gay chat rooms on the Internet.
