POZ, according to press notes, "concerns a young man in 2003 with tuberculosis [who] discovers that if he was HIV+ he would be covered by insurance for chemo. He meets an HIV+ man with the idea of being infected. The play examines an unconventional love between the two men and an odd family of characters, each dealing with their own demons: an aging actress who struggles with asthma, an eccentric woman who speaks with angels, a middle aged flamboyant queen with a dying father, and a young man who died of AIDS early in the health crisis."
The Playroom Theater is located at 151 West 46th Street, 8th Floor. Tickets are a suggested donation of $20 and can be purchased in advance by clicking here.
