A virtual reading of “Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love” by Brad Fraser and directed by Jake Van Hoorn will be presented by Pride Arts via Zoom from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 1. Tickets are $10. The ticket link is web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/10540225.

“Shocking when it first premiered in 1989, this Canadian work follows the lives of several sexually frustrated “thirty-somethings” and one teenager who try to learn the meaning of love — during a time in which a serial killer is terrorizing the city. Candy is a heterosexual woman trying to meet the perfect man but who along the way finds herself experimenting with lesbianism; her gay roommate David no longer believes that love exists; Kane is a sexually confused teenager who idolizes David; Bernie is David’s troubled best friend; and Jerri is a lesbian who falls in love with Candy. Overlooking the proceedings is the otherworldly Benita, a prostitute with psychic abilities. Fraser’s drama still carries a punch.”

Character and cast: David — Andrew Jon Rhodenbaugh; Robert — Chip Joyce; Benita — Pauline Parkhurst; Candy — Emily Cox; Kane — Andrew Schoepke; Bernie — Skyler McNeely; Jerri — Autumn Vandeven; and Evelyn & Stage Directions – Rebecca Ann Carver.
