A queer, music-filled story of addiction, friendship, and chosen family in NYC.
Set in a stylized, pop-up book version of New York City, the play follows a gay man navigating addiction and isolation as he attempts to build a chosen family. At the center of his journey is his closest companion, his dog, Mister Snickers, whose presence anchors a narrative that reframes the traditional “boy and his dog” story through a queer lens. The piece traces a personal transformation from self-destructive behavior toward connection and generosity.
The production incorporates a music-driven structure and a visually imaginative staging concept that evokes a storybook rendering of the city. Specific creative team members, including playwright and director, are not publicly listed for this production.
Performances take place across two Off-Broadway venues during its limited run, with early dates staged at The Wild Project and later performances at Urban Stages. The work is presented with mature themes, including strong language and depictions of alcohol abuse, and is recommended for audiences ages 16 and above.
