Covid Queertet is a new play from Kutztown University professor and playwright, Dr. Deryl Johnson. The play explores the question of “Who controls your identity after your death?” The World Premier debuts at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 21, Plays and Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Place, Philadelphia.

Set during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the evening takes an ominous turn when four actors begin to examine the artistic works, identities and legacies of Oscar Wilde, Willa Cather, José Sarria and Kutztown, Pa. native – Keith Haring.

This special, one-night-only event features a pre-show concert by the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus. Admission is free, but tickets are strongly recommended and available from the Philadelphia Fringe Festival Box Office at 215-413-1318 or online.
