Afterglow
Penetrates the psyche in a way that many gay men will find relatable. A gritty tale of commitment on the cusp of questioning its boundaries, the incredible acting and intense writing propels the audience's minds and hearts into their emotional plights.
Advocate
Why see Afterglow?
Three's a crowd
Join Josh and Alex, affluent New York City husbands with a baby on the way, as they explore the blurred lines between love and loyalty that arise when they open their bed up to include a third. Sex positive and immensely intriguing, Afterglow is a vivid look at intimacy and polyamory in the gay community from playwright S. Asher Gelman.
Noted for its casual nudity and explicit sex scenes, Afterglow is more absorbing than titillating as we see a non monogamous relationship rocked by an affair, leading to questions about connection and the nature of commitment in an open relationship.
Brandon Haagerson, Patrick Reilly and Robbie Simpson excel as they breathe life into this thought provoking and aboslutely necessary love triangle.

Great drama - playing with fire
A great production..well written and well
acted...it makes a good example of pointing
out the fine line between love and sex...a trio
can be exciting ..but just maybe it would have
been better to not go there...the fine line
between sex outside of marriage with or
without consent..and how it can still be
damaging in either case...and that goes for
gay or straight situations...well worth
seeing...the actors do an excellent job of
portraying characters that all gays can relate
to..and the nudity is appropriately and
erotically displayed..nice intimate theater
which lends itself to the intimacy of a
sensitive story..a fine production that I wish
would enjoy an open-ended run....definitely
deserves another look..really enjoyed the
show and am going for a second go-
round...And this time am taking my husband! ... Read more
