Passing Through
by Nick Robideau
November 12, 2023 – 7pm – FREE
at Brick Aux – 628 Metropolitan Ave
A public, scripts-in-hand reading of a new play. It’s a queer funny/serious/lyrical/erotic haunted house story.
Director: Devon Wade Granmo
Cast:
E. Jim Ford
Enrique Huili
Brian Lady
Fareeda Pasha
Javier and Matt have just moved into their dream house in Upstate New York to escape the city – and the baggage of their own shared past. Unbeknownst to both of them, though, they’re not alone in their new house. Their presence inspires a sexual awakening in the house’s resident spirit, and after 100+ years of being dead, he’s not exactly great at boundaries. Together with Javier’s amateur-psychic-best-friend Isis, everyone in the house, living and dead, are on a crash course with the ghosts of their past and on the other side of that, just maybe, a path forward.
