Run by Stephen Laughton – Infatuated with Adam, his schoolmate, Yonni struggles to focus on preparing for the weekly shabbat alongside his devoutly religious family. Yonni, a seventeen-year-old gay Jewish boy, and our narrator, finds his mind constantly drifts back to the thought of Adam. If We Got Some More Cocaine I Could Show You How I Love You by John O’Donovan – After getting in trouble with the police, Casey and Mikey find themselves spending their entire Halloween night hiding out on a rooftop. They only have each other, some cheap whiskey, and an ounce of stolen cocaine. These two young men find themselves on top of the world with nowhere to go. So… What Happened Last Night? By Ben Fleming & Emily Oulton – It’s Ned’s first time doing drag. It’s Dani’s first time in a gay club. It’s definitely not Jeff’s first time embarrassing himself on a Tuesday night. Yet by the end of the evening all of them will have discovered something about themselves that was previously hidden.
