About the Show

A world premiere that looks at the complexity, diversity, and intimacy of male relationships.

The play is set in New Jersey (“somewhere off the NJ Transit line”) and follows a gay Latino yoga teacher named Julián as he clashes with the Latino construction workers outside his studio—particularly the older head of the crew, Héctor, who seeks from Julián something he never expected. Tony Meneses is the author of The Women of Padilla and Guadalupe in the Guest Room, both of which had their world premieres at Two River. It is directed by the director of the Lortel Award-winning Octet, Annie Tippe.

Great casting, Great acting, Great staging, Must see, Entertaining

See it if intrigued with alpha male (macho) vs gay stereotypes and their dynamics with interesting plot & character twists. A mix of drama & comedy.

Don't see it if not interested in intriguing male relationship themes- romantic and non-romantic aspects. Not a big musical but has some great dance numbers

Captivating, great acting, good topics, a little dated but thought provoking

See it if you like a good play with good dialog about interesting topics in a beautiful setting.

Don't see it if really can't think of a reason to not take a look at this well acted play. Read more

Thought-provoking, Entertaining

See it if You like quick paced 90 minute play dealing with masculinity and homophobia with humor and well written and acted. On level with NYC offbdwy

Don't see it if You only want a musical and expect Broadway

Over written, Great choreography, Great lighting, Great staging, Entertaining

See it if you want to see a show about men learning how to know each other

Don't see it if a 90 minute show that is really over at 75 or 80 minutes really bothers you. Read more

Thought-provoking, Profound, Entertaining, Great staging, Great singing

Don't see it if If you don’t like small settings and plays that revolve around stereotypes

Resonant, Relevant, Intense, Intelligent, Great writing

See it if You care about important work, and discussing social issues

Don't see it if You can't sit through a show with no intermission

Refreshing, Funny, Great acting, Must see, Great writing

See it if you've waited for shows with men, a range of complex, flawed, but relatable characters who discover and work through issues w/o villainizing

Don't see it if you see masculinity only in the masculine stereotypes (or the non-masculine ones). Not for those who can't stand plays unlike any others.

Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Great staging, Relevant, Funny

See it if You are interested in both a serious and lighthearted production that explores the interactions of 5 men and their eventual friendship.

Don't see it if You are looking for belly laughs.
