Description
I WANNA F*CK LIKE ROMEO AND JULIET
Written by Andrew Rincón
Directed by Kelsey Morrow
August 21, 22, 27, 28, & 29 @ 7:30pm
August 23 @ 2pm
Snow in July, comets falling from the sky; the world is thrown into chaos as Cupid rips off her wings and gives up on love. But her old flame Saint Valentine has a plan to bring her spirits back up and it involves the relationship between two men, Alejandro and Benny. A queer love story of epic proportions that investigates God and mortals, realism and fantasy, and the pain that comes with Cupid’s arrow– or in this case, a shotgun.
Starring Victoria Olmos, Cameron Kovac, Michael Hendrix, Azra Joy, Nikki Flowers, and Sal Vidaurri
