GABRIEL and JOHANN have been friends for a long time. They also have dads, like most people. Except their dads die. That’s sad. Then they realize that mortality is real and they come face to face with the stark acknowledgment that their lives have been meaningless for a long time. Enjoy the show. Currently in its experimental phase, The Secret Handshake is a one-night show where the creators are seeking to perform and gather feedback for the next iteration of the play. Like a preview. It’s a preview. Enjoy the chaos. @Andre__Aelo // @magnusrook Arts On Site is a women-run nonprofit arts organization dedicated to providing artists with opportunities to create and perform new work.
