New York Times bestselling author David Levithan has teamed up with composer Joshua Shank to create a concert with spoken word based on his 2013 Lambda Literary Award winning book, Two Boys Kissing. Based on true events—and narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS— the story follows Harry and Craig, two seventeen-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teens dealing with universal questions of love, identity, and belonging.
It is beautiful evening of song interlaced with spoken word, and the price is right, as it is free to the public!
Our goal is to reach as many youth as possible with this concert, so bring your family (both relatives and chosen family) and spend some time with us as we remember our past and explore the issues facing our youth today.
