I Love You 2020 (Monologues From Gay Men in the Time of COVID-19)

October 21, 2020, we presented the first edition of our recurring series, I Love You 2020. This inaugural show, hosted by Susan Campanaro as Lavina Draper, highlighted raw, real, and sometimes raucous monologues and discussion from gay men of all stripes from all corners of the US. The evening was a truly authentic and compelling look at how the pandemic was affecting each of these individuals, their loved ones, their lifestyles, and their livelihoods. The cast included Noel Figueroa, aka Miss Noel Leon, from Miami, Florida, Michael Armone from Manhattan,Louis D’Aprile from Las Vegas, Jerry Javier from Hilo, Hawai’i and Johnny Pastor from Honolulu, Hawai’i. Look for more themes and topics of discussion in the months to come from this recurring series, now appropriately titled I Love You 2021!
