In a desperate attempt to prove they can think about someone other than themself, Morgan Bassichis turns to the work of queer comedian, musician, and performance artist Frank Maya. Maya was among the first out gay comedians on network television and on the precipice of mainstream success before he died from AIDS-related complications in 1995. This new “solo” performance humbly attempts to ensure Maya’s legacy is no longer overlooked while finally resolving the bottomless queer search for fame and for father figures, and for laughter in times of crisis.

Can I Be Frank? is written and performed by Morgan Bassichis and based on and with original material by Frank Maya. It is directed by 2025 Tony Award Winner for Best Director Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!) and was originally developed and produced at La MaMa Experimental Club.

The August 7 performance will be followed by a post-show talkback with Morgan Bassichis, Neil Greenberg, and Kyle Croft, Executive Director of Visual AIDS.

Use the discount code MAYA for $25 tickets.
