Men At Play &#; The Complex -Review
From Nov. 5th &#; 10th
The play starts when a man in adj heels, makeup and a flamboyant black wig arrives on stage. He is a drag queen called Foxy and is much larger than life! Foxy is the alter ego of Fergus (Kieran McBride), who is a quieter, more reserved individual.

“Sing Sing” isn’t like that. The A24 film implores you to survey these men bring light through play, humor and art.
