HI, ARE YOU SINGLE? World Premiere to be Presented by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company & IAMA Theatre Company

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, in association with IAMA Theatre Company, will present HI, ARE YOU SINGLE?, written and performed by Ryan J. Haddad. Hilarious, vulnerable, and in-your-face provocative, Ryan explores the complicated world of dating from his unique perspective as a gay man living with cerebral palsy. The world-premiere stage production of HI, ARE YOU SINGLE? runs March 28 to April 10, 2022.

"Hot off the heels of our critically-acclaimed digital production, it's well past time for our audiences in the DMV to finally meet the glorious (and gorgeous) Ryan J. Haddad in the flesh," shares Artistic Director María Manuela Goyanes. "This pandemic asked us all to re-examine what physical intimacy could look like, and Ryan's perspective on navigating those interactions as a gay man with a disability is one we need to hear more often."

Ryan has a higher sex drive than you. He also has cerebral palsy. You can often find him on Grindr or at your local inaccessible gay bar. Join Ryan on his search to find love. Or a date. Or at least a hookup. From encounters with drag queens to platonic lap dances, Ryan will guide you through the gay dating scene with his provocative take on intimacy, rejection, and judgment. His one request? Please bring an attractive male friend with you.

"My play is a joyful, raucous, searing play about a young man who is gay, disabled, and horny all the time," Haddad says. "The way the world desexualizes disability - I'm trying to fight against that."

Directed by Laura Savia, HI ARE YOU SINGLE? features playwright and actor Ryan J. Haddad, with design work by Lawrence E. Moten III (Scenic and Costume Designer), Colin K. Bills* (Lighting Designer), Tosin Olufolabi (Sound Designer), Rachael Danielle Albert (Stage Manager), and Cresent Haynes (Assistant Sound Designer).
