Chance Stevens is a young gay man who has almost everything...but he wants something more. He dives deep into the city's seedy sexual underbelly and picks up a drug habit, while also beginning a relationship with a handsome, HIV-positive baker, claiming falsely to be positive as well. But as those close to him begin to call his motives into question, Chance is forced to decide what he values in a dangerous world. New York playwright J. Julian Christopher, winner of the 2009 Public Theater Emerging Playwright award, explores bug-chasing - a complicated and little-discussed subculture within the contemporary queer community - through the lens of desire, guilt, and redemption. Artistic Director Hutch Pimentel, who directed last year's hit production Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them, will helm this sharp, challenging, and haunting new play.
