Scott Kerns & Kevin Spirtas Star in Loaded at Theatre Row, Runs Through 1/23

Loaded, a new play written by Elliot Ramón Potts, is set for a limited engagement through January 23, 2010 at Theatre Row. Directed by Michael Unger, this production will have its Official Opening on Sunday, November 15 at 3:00PM.

Loaded centers on Jude and Patrick, two men exploring whether or not their casual sexual relationship has the potential to be something more. When the generation that separates them sparks a series of misunderstandings and assumptions, their connection is strained and the conversation turns serious. Loaded taps into the climate of 21st century gay culture as it seeks to make sense of the bewildering chasm that separates middle-aged and younger gay men.
