In 1966, Laud Humphreys is searching for a dissertation topic … and for so much more. When his advisor encourages him to choose something that scares him, Laud dives headfirst into the world of tearooms -- public restrooms where men meet to have sex. Determined to prove that these men aren't monsters, he learns that they are something much more complicated. They're human. Can Laud make peace with their -- and his own -- fallibility, or will his desire to deny who he is ultimately destroy him?Please join us for a talkback following both performances Registration Link: https://cah.ucf.edu/performingarts/pegasus-playlab-2025/ Registration Info: $15, $10 student
