Basically Children
June 22 at 7 PM

Playwright: Charlie O’Leary
Director: John Michael DiResta

In a Midwest college town, two freshmen flirt, find themselves, and debate the intricacies of queer life. But when one of them connects with the town’s mayor on a dating app, their conceptual discourse leads to dire consequences. A new gay play about an old gay myth.

*Please note that this play contains strong language, including a homophobic slur, as well as discussions of sexual assault, pedophilia, suicide, and self-harm.

*Please note that this performance will be presented at the Tank's in-person performance space at 312 W 36th St. All attendees and artists will be required to display proof of full covid vaccination before being admitted to the space, either by showing a vaccination record (vaccination card) at least two weeks out from the final dose of an approved vaccine, or by using New York's free Excelsior Pass service, available here.
