IN OUR WORDS "is collecting stories and memories from people about their time at the Adonis... You can share a brief paragraph or as much as you like as you answer the questions below. You can fill out your name and email or remain anonymous - whatever is more comfortable for you."
Share your story here. This is a companion to the play "The Adonis" which has been in development and production several years, including a workshop production. The full production of "The Adonis" is planned to debut in New York City this Fall.
See a short video about the play "The Adonis" and consider making a contribution to help with costs.
Alan Bounville, Artistic Director of In Our Words, has more to say about the background and reason for "The Adonis" at
In Our Words Makes Gay Sex Happen on Stage, how it relates to a "post-AIDS" younger generation of men, PrEP, and the decline of public sex venues – well worth reading.
Bounville is "younger" and pretty cute, too. I found his writing fascinating. Although I won't quote it here (not enough time, really!) I hope guys will read it. Good for 55-year-olds like me, good for guys in their 20s, too.
There is also a
Facebook page and
Twitter feed.
I cross-posted this on the Message Board "Aging and Cruising for Sex" section since it's relevant. It will also appear soon on the Paddles NYC Sex Listings page
