Rising Phoenix Repertory has announced casting for Daniel Reitz’s Blood Strokes, presented as part of the company’s Cino Nights series. Reitz will direct the play (assisted by Dan Shaked) at the Seventh Street Small Stage, the intimate back room space at Jimmy’s No. 43, on Sunday, September 25 at 7pm.

In the play, FAGGOT is the newest, most inflammatory, most polarizing in-yer-face-queer iTunes sensation. His concerts are getting bigger, the uproar louder, the costumes more outlandish, the “fans” more thuggish. Homo hero? Cynical instigator? Political activist? Performance artist? Tonight, the unwelcome truth waits in the dressing room.

The cast will include Tom Bozell, Joel Johnstone, and Chet Siegel.

Admission is free. Reservations can be made by calling 212-946-5198. For more information, click here.
