The Balcony Presents Virtual Production Of Isaac McGinley's CHICAGO FAGGOT

In collaboration with new theater streaming community, The Balcony, the first act of Isaac McGinley's "Chicago Faggot" directed by Tom Picasso will premiere live on YouTube.

Synopsis:

In his Lakeview apartment in Chicago, Tony, a prominent drag queen, hosts a game night with his tribe of self-proclaimed "Loud and Proud Sissies." As the evening wears on, bitter resentments and feverish desires come to light as they explore taboo sexual fantasies and a drug-fueled subculture.

Note from the writer:
"I started writing this play when I was in a state of dire disillusionment within the queer nightlife community and culture. Inspired by Larry Kramer's "Faggots," I decided to traverse my own deeply held addictions, sexual proclivities, and biases toward my fellow queer humans. The messy details; the desperate attempts at attention; the delicate dance of lovers, friends and one-night stands, watching for the first misstep."
