Michael Unger (The Happy Time, The Rink, A Christmas Carol) directs the two-hander that features Kerns (Heart of the City) as Jude and Spirtas (The Boy from Oz, "Days of Our Lives") as Patrick.

Ramoncíto Productions, associate producers Tim Sutton and David Santana produce the engagement that began previews Nov. 7 and is scheduled to run through Jan. 23, 2010.

The cast of Loaded also features Joel T. Bauer (The Boys Upstairs) as understudy for Jude with Rik Walter as the understudy for Patrick.

Loaded, according to press notes, "centers on Jude and Patrick, two men exploring whether or not their casual sexual relationship has the potential to be something more. When the generation that separates them sparks a series of misunderstandings and assumptions, their connection is strained and the conversation turns serious. Loaded taps into the climate of 21st-century gay culture as it seeks to make sense of the bewildering chasm that separates middle-aged and younger gay men."

Loaded was previously staged in a limited run at the LGBT Center in Manhattan in December 2008.
