A Very Sexy Glance at Gay Life In Plays of Wilton’s ‘Prep’d’
If you’re not familiar with the term “PrEP,” you might not exactly be part of the target audience for the play PrEP’d, a raunchy sex-positive comedy that is this weekend finishing up its month-long run this weekend at The Foundry through Plays of Wilton.
