Midnight Theatricals is thrilled to celebrate this first day of “Pride Month” in Los Angeles by announcing that its critically acclaimed, smash-hit, west coast premiere production of the hit Off-Broadway and London sensation, AFTERGLOW, written and directed by S. Asher Gelman is EXTENDING through SUNDAY, JULY 24 at the Hudson Theatre, 6539 Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles.
AFTERGLOW, the international hit sensation, is a raw, one-act play exploring the emotional, intellectual, and physical connections between three men and the broader implications within their relationships. When Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed one night, a new intimate connection begins to form and all three men must come to terms with their individual definitions of love, loyalty, and trust as futures are questioned, relationships are shaken, and commitments are challenged.
