After successful shows in Nashville, Atlanta, Houston and DC, 'When Boys Exhale' comes to Chicago. This original, stage play is a tribute to 'Waiting to Exhale' but with an LGBT twist. You don't want to miss this hilarious and thought-provoking celebration of black queer friendship.

Synopsis

Jonathan and Andre are best friends who have loved 'Waiting to Exhale' since they were kids. Now as black gay men, their appreciation for Terry McMillan’s classic deepens when their adult lives seem to mirror the situations of the woman of the film they love so much. Just like Robin, Gloria, Bernadine, and Savannah, will they both learn to let go of all the things holding them back or will they continue waiting to exhale?
