Boundless Theater and producer Tommaso Cartia will host the SLAP&TICKLE Pride Party & Fundraiser: Road to Off-Broadway 2027! on Thursday, June 25, from 6 PM, at It's Him , a gay social club and bar in Hell's Kitchen.

The event will feature performances by Antwayn Hopper (CATS: The Jellicle Ball, A Strange Loop), Pooya Mohseni (English), and Christopher Borg (The Confession of Lily Dare), offering audiences a first look at SLAP&TICKLE - A Theatrical Experience, the provocative, sensual, and darkly funny new queer play by Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference Finalist David James Parr , directed by Chad Austin , Producing Artistic Director of Abingdon Theatre Company.

Described as "CATS: The Jellicle Ball meets The Inheritance with surprising immersive elements," SLAP&TICKLE is set in 2010 at The Sanctuary-the last standing gay bathhouse in New York City-and follows a group of transgenerational queer characters on a journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery while honoring the resilience and legacy of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The evening will also officially launch the SLAP&TICKLE Road to Off-Broadway 2027 Crowdfunding Campaign. Guests can participate in a silent auction, enjoy Pride giveaways, and learn more about the production's path to Off-Broadway. Donations made through Boundless Theater's fiscal sponsor, The Field, are tax-deductible. Details: Click Here
