EVENTS

At Hand Theatre Company presents:
My AIDS
Written and Performed by Dan Horrigan
Directed by Dave Solomon

Armed with only his wit, storyteller Dan Horrigan does battle with evil bosses, loses true love, and confronts being HIV positive... all while searching for the perfect set of kitchenware! With humor and candor, he shares his story about grappling with growing up and accepting himself.  A master storyteller at cocktail parties across New York, Dan has decided to bring his skills to a wider and slightly more sober audience. MY AIDS marks his debut as a solo artist.

AVP will be a beneficiary on the opening night performance.  Please come out to see this important play and support our work in the process.

Date and Time:  Monday, February 15th at 7:00pm

Location: Urban Stages - 259 West 30th Street (between 7th & 8th Avenues)
