Three Ways

Block and Tackle Productions presented ThreeWays, part of the fall 2011 Fresh Fruit Festival. Three Ways is three plays that explore the love of men for men: The Body Electric (Walt Whitman as a male nurse during the Civil War); Sporting Goods (the pleasures of "sports-approved flesh"); and the long version of Click (the moral conflict between two companions when one murders a homophobe). We featured Edmund Wilkinson, John Blaylock, and Cory Shoemake in Click, directed by Elfin Vogel, and Giancarlo Osaben and James Parenti in The Body Electric and Sporting Goods, directed by Kelley McKinnon.

Fantastic. touches upon the weighty matters of addiction and depression, brain neurons and their synapses, two forbidden kisses, single-malt scotch, and the wonderful green dance of blue and yellow laser lights. Directed by Elfin Vogel and featuring John Blaylock, Lina Sarrapochiello, and Jon Krupp.
