CALL ME BY ANY OTHER NAME… JUST AS SWEET is a queer reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, set in the pulsing heart of Club Verona, ruled by our illustrious drag queen and host, Mutha Laurence.

Inspired by the electric energy of the ballroom scene, drag culture, and underground club life, this immersive production plunges into the complexities of queer love, grief, pleasure, and mortality. CALL ME boldly questions the very purpose of love itself. What unfolds is a fierce, poetic, and unapologetically raw night of dance, intimacy, and theatrical rebellion—exploring the edges of queer utopia while asking: what does it truly mean to love—and to lose?

Part party. Part drag show. Part nightclub. Part play.

Step into a realm of darkness and starlight, hope and fear, music and dreams. Join a cast of ethereal characters as they search for meaning amid wishes and nightmares in a dazzling dreamscape of morphing circumstances. Vesper is a surrealistic exploration of humanity’s relationship to the night and the rituals we invoke to heal, find peace, and ward off danger. Vesper is an experimental, non-linear, devised theatrical performance.

Created through several months of collaborative incubation, workshops, and refinement, Vesper harnesses the dialogue of training and creation to present visceral, ensemble-centered theatre.
