Interview with Writer Erik Patterson
"HE ASKED FOR IT is a powerful and profound stage play written by Erik Patterson that challenges the audience to think. Yes, there is actually something going on in Tinseltown that wants you to think. Of course, the play also makes you laugh. And cry. And you may well recognize yourself in one or more of its wonderfully layered characters. ..."
June 29, 2009: The Advocate
"The cast of seven creates an intimate space for the audience to enter
the characters' lives completely. Patterson has accomplished quite a feat
in writing a play that tackles tough issues around HIV while getting his audience to intermittently roar with laughter. Even though this play is nothing like Angels in America, I daresay that Mr. Kushner would be proud."

"...a remarkably insightful view of urban gay life in the 21st century ... a work with universal themes about loneliness in the big city and the fragility of the human heart. "

"In this moving and provocative play, Patterson finds unexpected comedy in grim situations... Director Neil H. Weiss has assembled a handsome, terrific cast with no weak links."
