About the Show

A drama about two altar boys whose bond strains when a stranger enters their church.

When a lost young man takes shelter inside their church, two altar boys cling tightly to one another as the foundations of their lives begin to shift. Their friendship is tested by changing faith, emerging identity, and the physical and emotional transformations of adolescence. As their beliefs and bodies evolve, the bond that once felt unbreakable starts to strain under new pressures.

The play is written by Bubba Weiler and directed by Jack Serio, following their recent collaboration on Well, I’ll Let You Go.
