No Kissing
Theatre Noir Blanc is pleased to announce auditions for our first production No Kissing.
After a brief chat on a dating app, Clayton, 60, a Black gay male, invites Roff, 60, a white gay male, to his condominium the first night a city implements a curfew to shut down because of COVID-19. When they are about to kiss and have sex, Clayton freaks out, which prompts Roff to leave, but he is trapped there because of the curfew. The evening unfolds with the two discovering a common bond, a similar history of aging, dating, sex, loneliness, and finding love in gay society during the early days of a new crisis similar to the early days of the AIDS Crisis, which the two men survived.

A poet who has lived in Europe. He is a sophisticated, masculine, slim gay male who lived through the AIDS crisis. He is a romantic and believes in love at first sight. He is extremely worried about being infected with COVID 19. He is overly cautious and believes in practicing social distancing.
Roff
White
Male
Mid 50s to Mid 60s
He is a former Investment banker, turned model in his 50s. He is extremely masculine. He is a gay man who prefers one-night stands to a long-term relationship.

He doesn't believe in all the rules and regulations of social distancing because he remembers all the incorrect information initially about how HIV was transmitted. He is still in shape.
About Us
Theatre Noir Blanc is a new nonprofit theater company committed to equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility. We amplify gay voices, especially gay interracial narratives that have been historically under-represented and under-resourced within the theatrical environment. Our mission is to create, develop, and produce original works that explore the gay interracial experience–pushing boundaries, taking creative risks, and fostering an inclusive community that inspires a future generation of theatre-makers. Our vision is to elevate bold, untold stories by national and international playwrights that reflect the richness and complexity of a diverse world.
We are excited to establish our company in Dallas, Texas because of its thriving theater scene and the mast number of talented actors within the city. It has been a whirlwind this past year to bring this company alive and the moment has finally arrived. We are casting our first production No Kissing this April.
