Description:

Stage manager needed ASAP for SUNSETS: TWO ACTS ON A BEACH by Cal Yeomans, is a long-lost drama by an early pioneer of gay theater. This evening of two one-act plays was last performed at the 1982 American Gay Arts Festival in Chicago and offers an intimate exploration of human sexuality and relationships from an era before AIDS era and before online hookups. Both plays are set next to a men's room on a Florida gulf coast beach - the sort of place where seaside frolics take a different turn when the sun goes down. Play One is a monologue featuring Henrietta, an aging former drag performer who finds a new life purpose in a most unusual type of social service. This character's journey delves into the complexities of gay life with heavy yet authentic language. Play Two explores the developing relationship- physical and emotional - between Dan, a young, bi-curious, and married construction worker; and John, a forty-something realtor who is a regular visitor to this particular stretch of beach. The production is directed by David Zak and contains nudity.
