A Queer Classic Reimagined
DORIAN is a thrilling, queer-forward remix of Oscar Wilde’s timeless tale, brought to life in this bold and visually stunning stage adaptation by Phoebe Eclair-Powell and Owen Horsley.
In a world obsessed with beauty and power, what happens when someone is given the chance to remain perfect—forever? This modern interpretation dives headfirst into vanity, desire, and the danger of refusing to age, illuminating the darkest corners of our obsession with self-image and fame.
Directed by Aaron Holland and featuring a powerhouse cast of Chicago performers, DORIAN blends gothic horror, satire, and cabaret energy into an unforgettable night of theater.
