“…we definitely say “I do” to breaking out your ‘70s pink tuxedo shirt, or that hideous bridesmaid’s dress you swore to never wear again, and do the bunny hop down to the Island City Stage before the last handful of rice is thrown.” Brit Haller

Compromise your principles for the almighty dollar. Would you do it? How far would you go? What about the repercussions? … For yourself? Your family? Society at large? Nowadays, it feels like we’re confronted with this question daily – especially when it comes to actions taken by our government and industry leaders. Twenty-seven years ago, award-winning playwright and screenwriter/director Craig Lucas (best known for his 1991 Pulitzer-nominated “Prelude to a Kiss”) proposed this quandary, and a whole lot more, in THE DYING GAUL: a groundbreaking psychological thriller set in the high-stakes world of traditional Hollywood and nascent online chat rooms. 

Island City Stage’s production of Craig Lucas’ “The Dying Gaul” is a vibrant evening of theater practically sizzling with electricity.

““Skintight” is about something. Actually, it’s about many things, all of which it manages excellently. It's about love versus lust, the strength of long-term relationships, family dynamics, and generational trauma, and yet there are plenty of laughs.”
