About This Show

Based on an actual incident, The Moon Away is a powerful and intense drama that takes place in the mid-eighties. Joe, a photographer in southern New Mexico, grappling with his identity as a gay man, is suddenly thrown into a nightmare when he is accused of sexual contact with a minor. Presented by AYTB Theatre.
