Pride Plays has announced its return to New York and in-person programming this summer. Under the leadership of producers Sam Gravitte and Sammy Lopez, and with the support of original founders Michael Urie, Doug Nevin and Nick Mayo, Pride Plays will return to Rattlestick Theater (224 Waverly Place) this summer. On June 24 there will be readings of three new plays, culminating in a community gathering to celebrate the community and kick off future programming throughout the 2024-2025 season. The lineup will be PURE GLITTER written by Douglas Lyons & directed by Stephen Brackett. Stan throws his partner Tony a surprise party for their 10th wedding anniversary, and all are invited. Well, some actually aren’t, but still end up in the room. As exes collide and cocktails fly, this celebratory evening asks one tight group of gays to put their true cards on the table; DEBT written by Adrian Einspanier & reid tang and directed by Mei Ann Teo. In the first part of a two-part play, a couple in the midst of “uncoupling” attempt to get even (i.e. account for everything that’s ever been between them in a shared spreadsheet). Their friend thinks this is violent. They think it’s evolved. SAINT BRIGID written by Hannah Benitez. In this sequel to the play "DIKE," a young religious teacher must reconcile with her own morality when a scandal breaks at her Catholic School, forcing a reckoning with her estranged lesbian sister. This plot-driven romance explores queer identity and the families we build within the boundaries of religion. For further information and to purchase tickets, visit www.prideplays.com.
