Photos: Drew Droege, Derek Chadwick and More in MESSY WHITE GAYS

You can now get a first look at photos of Messy White Gays, a brutal new satire from the mind of Drew Droege, in advance of the show’s opening night this Sunday, November 2.

Messy White Gays stars Drew Droege, Derek Chadwick, James Cusati-Moyer, Aaron Jackson, Drew Reilly, Matt Steele, and Pete Zias, under the direction of Mike Donahue. The show is now in previews at The Duke on 42nd Street at New 42 Studios (229 W. 42nd St.), with opening night set for this Sunday, November 2.

In Messy White Gays, Drew Droege—the sharp-penned and quick-witted diarist of the contemporary homosexual—shines a harsh overhead light on the pores of White Gaydom, revealing what happens when throuples crumble, neighbors bicker, and rich and pretty clash with hot and dumb. It’s Sunday morning in Hell’s Kitchen. Brecken and Caden have just murdered their boyfriend and stuffed his body into a Jonathan Adler credenza. Unfortunately, they’ve also invited friends over for brunch. And they’re out of limes! Feel bad for them! They’re MESSY WHITE GAYS!
