ABOUT: Sex, love, jealousy, betrayal and violence pave the way for the final showdown in this radical re-imaging of the Greek tragedy. A handsome prince and his gang of friends have pledged celibacy but their devotion to chastity becomes much more difficult when the young prince realizes that his best friend is in love with him. Then things really get out of hand when his stepmother falls under the spell of Aphrodite and grows mad with lust towards him.   Which love will survive the wrath of Aphrodite?

About GAYFEST NYC - 2008

The not-for-profit GAYFEST NYC features five fully-produced Main Stage and Studio Theatre productions featuring Actors' Equity Association casts and a Broadway-caliber creative staff. This year's Festival includes talk-backs with the authors and appearances by celebrated members of the LGBT community. Each of the five productions present a major new work by a gay author or spotlighting gay-friendly subject matter, spanning a range of genres from hard-hitting dramas to jewel box musicals.

GAYFEST NYC's mission is to develop new voices for the LGBT community by expanding the reach and accessibility of both emerging and established playwrights.

Profits of GAYFEST NYC's fundraising efforts are used to provide scholarships and after school programs for students of Harvey Milk High School in New York City. Founded in 1985 in collaboration with the New York City Department of Education, Harvey Milk High School is a fully-accredited, inclusive, voluntary public high school focusing on the educational needs of children who are in crisis or at risk of physical violence and/or emotional harm.
