FFR/Princeton BTGALA, HGLC, and The Lynx Ensemble Theater Present... Contracts New York, NY

Contracts, a new play by Harvard Gay and Lesbian Caucus' Justin Deabler and directed by Ari Kreith, chronicles the lives of four first-year Harvard Law students taking a contracts course that serves as an allegorical representation of the unspoken contracts that they enter into in their personal lives everyday. As they negotiate the terms of these unspoken contracts -- the expectations and obligations -- that govern their intimate relationships, we go back to the surreal classroom, introducing new legal doctrines that parallel the dilemmas in our characters' lives. As they struggle with problems of divorce, fidelity, disability, and role-playing in same-sex relationships, the students explore the difficulties these relationships pose to the autonomous self.

At a time when gay marriage is positioned front-and-center in the American culture war, Contracts uses legal doctrine to ask important questions about the nature of love: can it be defined or preserved by contractual agreement, or is love, simply, a gift?

The show will be followed by a talk-back with the cast and director, and a reception in the theater and lobby.Ê The reception will feature complimentary vodka drinks, sponsored by Boru Vodka.

Like all of our events, all are welcome, but we especially welcome LGBT alumni from the ivy league and seven sisters schools, as well as our friends from Stanford, NYU, UVA, Duke, Williams, and Georgetown University. Feel free to bring your friends, boyfriends and girlfriends!
