Drew Droege’s satirical play Messy White Gays is making its way Off-Broadway this fall. Droege himself will star alongside Tony Award nominee James Cusati-Moyer, Aaron Jackson, Zane Phillips, and Pete Zias. It will debut on Oct. 6, with opening night set for Nov. 2, at The Duke on 42nd Street. 

The play shines a harsh overhead light on the pores of White Gaydom, revealing what happens when throuples crumble, neighbors bicker, and rich and pretty clash with hot and dumb. On a Hell’s Kitchen Sunday morning, Brecken and Caden have murdered their boyfriend and stuffed his body into a Jonathan Adler credenza. But, they’ve still got friends coming over for brunch.

Droege has appeared Off-Broadway in the hit show Titanique, as well as his solo shows Happy Birthday Doug and Bright Colors and Bold Patterns. He is perhaps best known for his Chloe Sevigny parody videos and performs regularly in Los Angeles with The Groundlings, The Golden Girlz Live, and Celebration Theatre. He has also written for Netflix’s AJ And the Queen and Big Mouth.

Messy White Gays previously received a workshop and developmental presentation as part of the 38th Powerhouse Theater Season at Vassar College.

The creative team for Messy White Gays will include set design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by James + AC, lighting design by Jen Schriever, sound design by Sinan Refik Zadar, props by Brendan McCann, puppetry by Sam Hill, and special effects by Jeremy Chernick. General management is provided by Sing Out, Louise! Productions, with production management by Libby J’Vera and Michal V. Mendelson as production stage manager. Casting is by Ryan Bernard Tymensky of RBT Casting.

Messy White Gays will begin performances at The Duke theatre on 42nd Street in New York City on Oct. 6, 2025. Official opening is on Nov. 2, 2025. For tickets and more information, visit here
