Infectious

Infectious is an emotionally complex, physically startling drama that drags the darker elements of humanity to the foreground. In 1960, a strange and compelling man (Steve) from the North shakes up the monotony of a small Mississippi town when he stumbles across a grief-stricken, overwhelmed-by-life widow (Vivian). Just as Vivian learns the opportunities New York may have to offer, a crazed stranger shows up on her doorstep looking for Steve. Does corruption eventually take us all? Where is the line between responsibility and independence? How can you tell the difference between Love and Lust when your life is in shambles? Infectious explores human relationships in a way that focuses on the many shades of grey that fall between black and white.

Eric Christopher Hoelle started in show business initially as an actor but soon after felt restricted by the typecasting that occurs due to the narrow mindedness of casting directors and writers. It was at that time that he made his first attempts to write the roles that he felt were more suited toward his artistic and intellectual interests. Exits and Entrances was the first of these efforts to see life. It is a story that starts out as a play of manners and turns into a broad comedy. Mr. Hoelle often liked to take his audiences on a journey that seemed to begin in on direction and end at a location they never imagined. Sadly, he passed away in January of 2019.
