Get your tickets for CABIN here! Now through June 8th ONLY.

Part dance, theater, and film, Sean Donovan‘s CABIN explores violence, the complexities of queer desire and intimacy, and the lines between biography and fiction. It follows three queer men and the creation and destruction of their relationship in a cabin in the woods. It is a story, but it is also about story itself, how story is told and how disparate forms of expression can serve in the evocation of the feelings and sensations of memory.

CABIN has been developed and produced with support from The Bushwick Starr and had its world premiere in May 2019 as part of their 2018-19 Season.
