A SEPTAGON

A Staged Reading for Pride Month. As Route 113 starts his new job as a bouncer at Woody’s in August 2025, Philadelphia goes into crisis mode. The SEPTA cuts have hit, forcing together two formerly distant siblings: Route 27, a lesbian-but-straight-for-AJ-Brown social worker and Route 5, a math professor turned high school sub with a penchant for Tastykakes. As the siblings struggle to define their relationship in a post-advancement world, Route 113, Route 5, and Route 27 encounter each other in unexpected ways, ultimately shaping the others’ conclusions about how to live free, queer, and Philadelphian when all you can do is wait…alongside your entire city.
