GayFest!: Week 2

The second week of GayFest! 2014 is in full swing. Some of the shows we mentioned last week, like The Haunted Host, and We Are People are still playing, but there's an array of new shows popping up, particularly the festival's popular, and cheekily named "One Night Stands." On Tuesday night catch Rachel Tension in Karma Came 'Round: A Witchy Celebration of Love and Life Lessons, and on Sunday, if you're lucky enough to have gotten tickets, R. Eric Thomas stars in a revamped version of his 2013 GayFest! favorite Always the Bridesmaid. If you're more in the mood for a full-blown play, this week sees the opening of local playwright—and longtime GayFest! participant—Daniel Talbott's trio of short plays "You Know My Name"; and Geoffrey Nauffts's Next Fall (pictured), which concerns the love affair between a gay Christian and his boyfriend Adam, who wouldn't step into a church if you paid him.
