Photo Coverage: First look at Evolution Theatre Company's ELECTRICITY
A Columbus native, Mr. Ray comes home performing in the Midwest premiere of his new play. Starring Terry Ray and Ralph Scott. Directed by Mark Phillips Schwamberger.
Sex, drugs and booze make up the life of Brad Burke, while ex-seminary student Gary Henderson is so closeted that he hides his sexuality behind an invented wife. This unlikely pair hook up in a motel room after their 10-year high school reunion and it's a monumental clash of worlds that sparks an "electricity" between them that lures them back to that same motel room after each reunion for the next 3 decades. Electricity is a very funny, sexy and surprisingly emotional journey through the immense changes that happened to the LGBTQ community between 1983 and 2013. It navigates a world where gay life was hidden in bars and sex clubs to one where equality might just be a reality--if Gary and Brad can only believe that they deserve it.
Electricity received rave reviews for its 11-week extended premiere in Los Angeles, its appearance at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2017, Oscar's in Palm Springs and in Palm Springs at INNdulge.
Performances are May 30th thru June 9th at 8:00 pm and Matinee Sunday November 12th at 2:00 pm. Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215. For tickets or more information, visit: http://evolutiontheatre.org/
