HE ASKED FOR IT

In an era when HIV hides from sight behind the closet door... In an era where the emotional AIDS cocktail of love, sex and death pours forth in a dark ride though Internet chat rooms, Hollywood back rooms and nightclub bathrooms... How far will you go for love? How much will you forgive? Would you be willing to infect yourself or others in exchange for a sense of belonging?

In HE ASKED FOR IT, award-winning playwright Erik Patterson and director Neil Weiss strike a startling balance between comedy and tragedy as the characters navigate the casual thrills of one-night stands and the difficult sacrifices of true love.

Young Ted is an actor from a small town in Wyoming and, like tens of thousands before him, he just arrived in Los Angeles hoping to become the next big thing on the silver screen. While it's a journey that happens every day of every month in Los Angeles, Ted's story is far from the typical Hollywood tale. In Erik Patterson's controversial new play, He Asked for It, the young actor becomes emotionally entrenched in the world of bugchasing and giftgiving.

"...delectably captivating skill... multilayered performance... spooky..." - L.A. WEEKLY

Set in winter, The Flu Season is an unpredictable, reluctant love story.
A love story with spite for itself.

"This is a play to remind us why sunsets make us sad, how nostalgia is like fog and why we live our lives as though we are in mourning for them. THE FLU SEASON is stingingly funny and really rather beautiful. It is vicious stuff; you don't realize it has cut you deep until you feel the warm seep of bloody despair."
