Skylight Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of “Hide & Hide” by Roger Q. Mason
Skylight Theatre Company proudly presents the World Premiere of “Hide & Hide,” written by Roger Q. Mason and directed by Jessica Hanna. Opening on Thursday, May 15th, the production runs through Sunday, June 29, 2025, at Skylight Theatre. This new work marks the playwright’s return to Skylight Theatre Company following the success and critical acclaim of their 2022 production, “Lavender Men.”
“Hide & Hide” is the second in Mason’s “Califas Trilogy.” It is a Homeric critique of the American Dream told through Billy (played by Ben Larson), a queer rent-boy from Texas fleeing a Christian sex conversion camp, and Constanza (played by Amielynn Abellera, “The Pitt”), a Filipina immigrant with a soon-to-expire visa, who together form a sham marriage to pursue their version of that dream in seedy 1980 Los Angeles.
“Hide & Hide” will run in repertory with Tracy Young’s modern verse translation of William Shakespeare's “The Winter’s Tale” (running April 24 to June 14). “Hide & Hide” performances will be offered on most Thursdays at 8:00pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30pm, and on Sundays at 3:00pm usually, with a few 7:30pm performances. There will be one Monday show at 7:30pm on June 2nd.
