Erik Patterson's provocative play He Asked for It explores the dark underbelly of one-night stands: the HIV-indifferent behavior of "bug chasers." A character study of disenchanted gay youth who look to infect themselves in exchange for a sense of belonging, He Asked for It skirts controversial and uncomfortable borders. Ted (Joe Egender) is a young, fresh-off-the-bus actor who arrives in Hollywood looking to become the next big thing. Pitch-black comedy and drama ensue when Ted's often-treaded path leads him to more hotel rooms than audition rooms, and a perilous set of dangerous sexual encounters threatens to derail his idealistic existence.
