A touring production of the new queer tragedy Studio Apartment is coming to Charlottesville’s most socially engaged artist-run gallery space. The play, set in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1995, centers on an eccentric middle-aged painter named Dave and their youthful live-in portrait model Monty. When Dave brings home a new model and roommate—a young Filipino named Gabe who is desperately seeking stability—things begin to shift within the curated confines of the small domestic space. As Monty and Gabe’s interactions escalate, will the entire arrangement fall apart? Mature themes and content warnings abound.
