NOW PLAYING THRU NOVEMBER 22
At The Bushwick Starr
Written and performed by David Cale
Directed by Les Waters
AWARD-WINNING THEATER ARTISTS DAVID CALE AND LES WATERS UNITE TO PREMIERE A POWERFUL, INTIMATE NEW PLAY
A writer from New York travels to Ketchum, Idaho to work on a film script set in Sun Valley. His plans and life take a wildly unanticipated turn after he has a chance encounter with an elusive ranch hand at the town’s annual "Trailing of the Sheep Festival". Blue Cowboy, the new solo work from David Cale, is the frank and sexually explicit story of two men from very different worlds. One who is open about his life, and the other whose life remains a self-imposed mystery to everyone around him, but who both share a profound need to intimately connect to another human being. Cale tells the story in his signature style full of vulnerability and blunt confession.
