 ollowing a gay boy who fell from a fifth floor window. Fundraising event 
 for ACT UP's 40th Anniversary.\\nRyan F. Casey is performing their autobi
 ographical solo play\\, WHAT HAPPENS TO BOYS IN CHELSEA\\, as a fundraisi
 ng event for ACT UP's 40th Anniversary.\\nACT UP — the AIDS Coalition T
 o Unleash Power — is a diverse\\, non-partisan group of individuals\\, 
 united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis.\\n
 During the height of the AIDS crisis in March of 1987\\, ACT UP New York 
 held their first meeting at New York’s LGBTQ+ Center. Inherited from pa
 st social movements\\, ACT UP propelled forward the understanding of nonv
 iolent civil disobedience as an instrumental tool in American Democracy�
 �and in the fight to end the AIDS crisis.\\nEric Sawyer— Founding ACT U
 P Member\\, Co-founder of Housing Works\\, HealthGAP\\, and UNAIDS Civil 
 Society Advisor— will be giving opening remarks and calling upon langua
 ge used by fellow founding ACT UP members during the early years of ACT U
 P.\\nRyan has performed WHAT HAPPENS TO BOYS IN CHELSEA on off-Broadway s
 tages\\, at cabaret venues\\, and in the streets of New York. Credits inc
 lude: Theatre Row\\, The Triad Theater\\, Club Cumming\\, The Stonewall I
 nn\\, and the NYC AIDS Memorial at St. Vincent's Triangle.\\nThe play is 
 a work of political theater\\; calling to dismantle the New York City Pol
 ice Department's Freedom of Information Law Unit.\\nIn 2006 New York\\, F
 oster Lawrence sets out on the town for a night out with friends. He ends
  up in a stranger's home. And then splattered\\, clinging to his life\\, 
 on the New York City asphalt. Ten years later Foster sets out on the town
  once more- to find out what happened that night. We follow Foster naviga
 te the New York City terrain and New York City Police Department as he be
 gins to understand his trajectory juxtaposed to queer history\\, societal
  constructs - and as per the NYPD - What Happens To Boys In Chelsea.\\n�
 �It's impossible to imagine the impact of their movement clashing with an
 d elevating the words of the text. Ryan is riveting! The story still stun
 s even though I'd read it. I understand the power of the material. The cl
 aim of the choreopoem is earned\\, I'd say.” - Sydne Mahone\\, Original
  Dramaturg on For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rain
