OPEN SPACE ARTS  takes a new look at a gay play written in the 1980s that is funny, sexy, and moving.

SUNSETS: Two Acts On A Beach by Cal Yeomans, a long-lost drama by an early pioneer, was last performed at the 1982 American Gay Arts Festival in Chicago and offers an intimate exploration of human sexuality and relationships from the pre-AIDS era.

Act One is a monologue featuring Henry, a man whose life has taken a turbulent turn. Act Two explores the relationship between Dan, a married construction worker on a quest for self-discovery, and John, who prefers anonymous hookups.

The cast includes (l to r) Aaron Cappella, John Cardone, and Chris Sylvie. Designs are by Rick Paul, Zahra Aga, Justin Walker, Zach Stinnett, Lauren Ramos, Greta Zandstra. Stage Manager is Caril Shapiro.

The production contains nudity. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30, and Sunday at 2. 

The running time is 60 minutes with no intermission.
