Kathleen Warnock's play Rock the Line tells stories of people whose lives aren't often honestly explored in the arts. The play doesn't look down on the people because they're working class, and (mostly) queer. They've had to make hard choices and keep quiet about who they truly are. In their close community of fans, lifelong friendships are made as life on the road shapes these fans' lives.

In Robert Macke’s play House of Chavis, a father discovers his estranged son is competing on a reality television series … as a drag queen. The play is a funny and moving exploration of the ties that bind families, both biological and chosen, as well as the forces that drive them apart.

In partnership this summer, TOSOS and Iconoclast will bring to the stage, first, during Gay Pride Month, Grindr The Opera, followed by TOSOS's presentation of Robert Macke's House Of Chavis in July. Grindr The Opera is Erik Ransom's original, operatic parody about the hook-up app that changed gay life as we know it.

In Robert Macke's play The Last Mother in the House of Chavis, a father discovers his estranged son is competing on a reality television series ... as a drag queen.
