It’s Nickel Beer Night at Freddie’s Place. Ken has come to drown his sorrows, but no amount of alcohol can wash away the pain of his broken relationship with Levi, nor the dark and difficult secrets of his past. As you enter Freddie’s you will instantly be transported from New York City streets to a Kentucky dive bar. Pull up a stool, grab a drink, and find yourself immersed in the searing world of She Calls Me Firefly.

""harrowing and surreal... The connection between sexual dysfunction and addiction is powerfully dramatized, as the roots of Ken’s intimacy issues are presented to us in the disturbing flashbacks to his childhood."
- "Firefly: putting the past behind you” by Joe Meyers, Joe’s View

“One of the most intimately powerful shows I've seen in a long time. I laughed, I was moved to tears. Simply breath-taking.”
 - Samm Vella
