On Saturday, February 15th, join us for the regional premiere of STUDIO APARTMENT, a new play written and directed by Che Flory. Playing one night only at Le Mondo!
You can learn more about the play and its artists below.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Monty has settled into a life as a live-in portrait model for the eccentric painter, Dave. It is Kansas City, 1995. While there is probably somewhere better to be, here is tolerable enough. Without warning, Dave brings home Gabe, a new roommate for Monty. Gabe starts to peel away at the things that have kept Monty isolated for so long.
Located inside the safe walls of Dave's studio, Monty and Gabe quickly begin to engage in an erotically-charged game of endurance performance for their host Dave. As Monty and Gabe push the game further and further, when will boundaries start to disintegrate? And what happens after they do?
