Pride Films and Plays is holding auditions for the Chicago Premiere of The Boys Upstairs by Jason Mitchell and directed by David Zak. Performances are May 21 - July 2 at Mary's Attic. This is a Jeff-eligible production.

Sex, Dating, Friendship, and all the blurry lines in between... The Boys Upstairs invites you into the fabulous living room of Josh, Seth, and Ashley. These three Hell's Kitchen Boys encounter all of the challenges, thrills, disappointments, tops and bottoms that young adult New York life has to offer. Seth is falling in love with his older boyfriend while attempting to seek approval from his single best friends. Ashley feeds on the variety, availability and accessibility of men in Manhattan. Josh finds inspiration from the antics of his two besties and his own humorously disastrous trials with dating and funnels it all into his newest writing concept. Just when these three settle into a rhythm of celebrating life and then analyzing it the next morning, they are all thrown for a loop when their incredibly hot neighbor Eric moves in below them. The "is he or isn't he" question is just one of many that these city boys ponder with style, scandal, and specialty cocktails!

Pride Films and Plays seeks funny men - ages 25 to 29 of all races and types - for the following roles:

Seth - extremely optimistic, can be flaky.

Ashley - he designs runway shows, and is the most outrageous and flamboyant of the group.

Eric - an incredibly hot neighbor, exudes sexiness, sexual orientation is not obvious.
Ensemble - one actor to portray multiple roles including Seth's controlling boyfriend, three very different tricks, a gay republican, and a charming doctor.

The role of Josh has already been cast.
