What is Arrangements?
On one charged night at a queer bar, a couple tests the limits of their open "arrangement" while the people around them reveal the agreements they've made about love, sex, money, and safety. Nothing here is "natural"—every relationship is an arrangement someone agreed to, or didn't.
This isn't a show about George Michael. It's a contemporary story about us—scored with his timeless music. Six performances at Free Range Brewery, NoDa. Talkback nights Aug 13 & Aug 20.
"The two words that seem to most define George Michael—at least through his discography—are freedom and faith."
— Medium, 2016
