Pride Films and Plays has announced the cast and crew for the season closer – the world premiere of DESIRE IN A TINIER HOUSE by Chicago playwright Ryan Oliveira.

Directed by Artistic Associate Topher Leon, the cast includes Rolando Serrano as Trevin and Carlos Wagener-Sobrero as Carlos. Juan Mares Castillo will understudy Carlos.

The production team will include Alex Casillas (scenic design), Uriel Gomez (costume design), Michelle Benda (lighting design), Isaac Mandel (sound design), Erin Gautille (properties design), Gaby Labotka (intimacy and fight choreography), Megan Chaney (stage manager), Evan Frank (technical director), Blake Cordell (master electrician), and Hannah Herrera Greenspan (assistant director/dramaturg).

DESIRE IN A TINIER HOUSE is a two-character drama that examines the challenges of maintaining loving gay relationships amidst societal forces that attack such relationships. It follows the relationship of two gay men in their ‘20s – the Argentine-American Trevin and the Brazilian-American Carlos – in scenes that progress from real to surreal, showing how their relationship changes first from moment to moment and eventually across millennia.

DESIRE IN A TINIER HOUSE runs May 30 – June 29. For more information visit pridefilmsandplays.com.
