The Other Side of Silence (TOSOS) will stage the world premiere of Pride House to kick off their 50th anniversary season. Celebrating the milestone year as NYC's oldest and longest-running LGBTQIA+ theatre company, TOSOS will also host several readings and community events to celebrate the milestone anniversary. 

Chris Weikel's new play Pride House centers on Beatrice in 1938 Long Island, preparing for her NYC theatre friends to arrive at her summer home. Little does she know that it is the eve of the great hurricane of 1938, an event which changes Fire Island in ways that reverberate to the present day. Igor Goldin will direct. 

The cast will include London Carlisle, Gail Dennison, Dontonio DeMarco, Desmond Dutcher, Jessica DiSalvo, Jamie Heinlein, Alex Herrera, Aaron Kaplan, Jake Mendes, Patrick Porter, Raquel Sciacca, and Tom Souhrada.

Pride House will run January 18-February 10, 2024 at The Flea Theater. An official opening night is slated for January 20.

The remainder of the anniversary season will include a number of community events—including a Pride party in June and a gala in October—and a reading series for six new works by LGBTQIA+ artists. A reimagining of Doric Wilson’s Street Theater will also be staged at The Flea Theater in July.
