A gay psychologist and a handsome young rent boy stumble down a unique path to healing when guided by a mysterious Hollywood glamor queen (played by a gender illusionist). 55 year old Gregory has spent his adult life denying the loss he experienced as a young man during AIDS crisis. After a near-death experience, The Lady appears. Is she an inner guide from the Jungian collective unconscious? Or a musical hallucination resulting from a small stroke? Gregory is pushed out of his solitary reality, by his unlikely muse, and down the rabbit hole of mid-life crisis where he enters into a turbulent, dangerous relationship with a young male escort named "Chance." (This production contains strong language, adult situations and partial nudity.)

Directed by legendary theater icon Robert Kalfin (founder of the Tony Award-winning Chelsea Theatre Center), this unique theatrical cocktail will be one part fun, one part heart, and one part magic.

Chance – A Musical Play about Love, Risk & Getting it Right features Richard Hefner (Gregory) (YouTube viral hit Girls and Boys), Randy Roberts (The Lady) (Gender Illusionist – Randy Roberts LIVE), Ken Lear (Chance) (Naked Boys Singing – NYC).

Scenery by Tony Dunnigan, costumes by Corrine H. DiTullio, Lighting by Dylan West
Music, book and lyrics by Richard Isen (The York's Theatre's A Fine Private Place)
