event Tearoom Tango

The dainty title of Douglas Holtz’s deeply personal play is actually anything but. “T-room” is short for “toilet room” in gay cruising lingo, and the particular tango Holtz explores involves six men who find themselves looking for anonymous bathroom sex for very different reasons. The frank work draws on Holtz’s own intimate experiences, and delves into issues of loneliness, identity, and prejudice through a series of 12 monologues. Mercury Players Theatre is bringing back Tearoom Tango after a successful run last fall, and the four-show engagement is simply a prelude before it’s shipped off to the prestigious New York International Fringe Festival.
