THE PSYCHONAUTS
POSTPONED TIL JANUARY
It’s Alive!! Your favorite play reading series is BACK and hosting a brand new work ⚡️⚡️ THE PSYCHONAUTS is a play brought to us by Morris McLennan, featuring performances by local trans/enby talent!!
Michael and Devin meet one fateful night at the beginning of a cruise. Their goal: ten days of debauchery. They snort and smoke and sleep together under the pretense that they'll never see each other again. But when Devin starts his first day of work at the same law firm as Michael, their fool-proof plan goes out the porthole. Will they be able to keep it professional or did their cruise rendezvous make the water too rocky to recover?
