After the current run in the theatre company's upstairs performance space ends November 8, the show will take a brief hiatus before returning to its larger downstairs space from December 22 to January 24.

Degenerates primarily centers on two members of an isolated online community of men who, after becoming united in their supposed unlovability, are confronted with the opportunity to be loved in real life. The play, written by Else Went and directed by Emma Rosa Went, was critically acclaimed upon its opening in September and has already extended thrice.

The cast from the current run will continue with the play: Juan Arturo as Serge/Chad, Olivia Rose Barresi as Stacy, Zachary W. Desmond as Miller, Tyler Nowell Felix as Kemp, and Christopher Dylan White as Target.

Degenerates also has set design by Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams, costume design by Kindall Houston Almond, lighting design by Jiyoun Chang, sound design by Angela Baughman, video and projection design by S. Katy Tucker, dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie, and intimacy direction by Willow Funkhouser.
