slap&tickle

A theatrical EXPERIENCE

OFF-BROADWAY PRODUCTION

COMING SOON

"Slap&Tickle is a refreshing, witty, and surprising exploration of LGBTQIA+ gender-inclusive sexuality, told through a spectrum of intersecting characters in the shadowy setting of a fictional NYC bathhouse." Broadway World. 

SLAP & TICKLE

is a thought-provoking, comedic & sensual play written by award-winning playwright David James Parr. Insightfully candid and darkly funny, this innovative play examines how politics, drugs, HIV and social media dramatically changed the landscape for a generation of LGBTQIA+ people in America. The show which has been successfully produced all over the US, takes an immersive twist—think The Boys in the Band meets Sleep No More—in a new partnership with Boundless Theater. This new incarnation premiered at The Eagle Club NYC in the Spring of 2023 and had a recent teaser event at the queer space RED EYE NYC in December of 2024.

The project supports GMHC the world's first HIV/AIDS service organization. Boundless Theater donates $5 from every ticket sale to GMHC and their mission to end the AIDS epidemic and uplift the lives of all affected.

  • "This play opens a pandora box of my life’s experiences as a queer person."
