Unexpected State Company presents the Washington, D.C.-area premiere of “Candy and Dorothy” at VisArts (155 Gibbs St.) in Rockville on July 15.

Directed by Chris Goodrich, the show looks at what would happen is Candy Darling, the transsexual Andy Warhol superstar, and Dorothy Day, the co-founder of the Catholic Worker Moment, were to meet in the afterlife.

The show will star Jean Hudson Miller as Dorothy and Robert Sheire as Candy with Dawn Thomas playing the down-on-her-luck, drug-selling librarian the two must work together to save.

Tickets range from $8 to $20 and the show will run through July 31.
