FITCHBURG — On Valentine’s Day weekend, The Forge Theater Lab offers two thought-provoking plays by Matt Cogswell about the challenges of finding love.
Staged readings of “Floating on Hope Ave” and “One Angry Gay Man” will be performed in the Conlon Fine Arts Building at Fitchburg State University on Friday, Feb. 14, and Saturday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. Admission is free, but a donation of from $3 to $10 is recommended.
In “Floating on Hope Ave,” gay men of all ages and walks of life weave in and out of each other’s lives as they search for pleasure, love, and hope.
In “One Angry Gay Man,” one actor portrays several men who fight against their inner demons in order to find a sense of purpose.
“The characters in both plays are on their own journeys of self-discovery and self-acceptance,” said Cogswell, who grew up in Worcester and now lives in Clinton. “Some are more successful than others in reaching their goals.”
Cogswell teaches writing and acting at Fitchburg State University and Mount Wachusett Community College.
In a staged reading, actors perform scenes with scripts in hand and some minor staging.
Audience members are invited to stay after the performances to give their thoughts and feedback. Cogswell hopes audience members can “see themselves in some of the characters, even if the gender or romantic interest of the character does not reflect who they are.”
