Tesseract Theater presents the New York Premiere of The Shooting Stage, by Michael Lewis Maclennan (Queer As Folk), directed by John Pinckard.
Twenty years ago, child TV star Len took a photograph of a nude boy. Now the portrait has resurfaced as part of an obscenity trial and the subject has returned to confront Len. At the same time, teenage Elliot pursues his secret "sissy boy" ambitions while bullied by a troubled schoolmate who himself is mired in a web of lies. Elliot's friend Ivan may be able to stop the inevitable disaster, but only if he can find the courage to transform himself. Ultimately, The Shooting Stage explores how boys become men, and how the fortunate survive violence through acts of the imagination.
