SUMMARY:Pup Play by Dr. Pants - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:With original punk music\, homonormative puppet\, multimedia visuals and erotic musical numbers comes Pup Play by Dr. Pants. \nProfessor Handler David presents a queer pseudo-lecture on the kink of pup play and how to put your puppy bitch boy into a submissive headspace. \nPup Play is an introspective\, sometimes somber and ultimately hopeful look into queer identity and fighting against homophobia. It demands that we all do more for the LGBT+ community to include all queer voices and be ‘unapologetically visible’. \nFeatured Image: Theatre Group GUMBO – Orlando Fringe \n
