Written by Harrison David Rivers, Directed by ShawnJ West, Prod. by New Conservatory Theatre Center
Before Simon came out, his mother Ora was his best friend and biggest supporter, but now there’s an ocean between them of what can’t be said, especially around his father. After a life-changing secret comes to light, will the family’s bond survive? Critically-acclaimed playwright Harrison David Rivers (This Bitter Earth and Interlude) returns to NCTC with this “gripping, funny and–above all else–brutally honest” (Talkin’ Broadway) semi-autobiographical story that explores how people can change and how love can evolve.
This west coast premiere is presented by the New Conservatory Theatre Center
Sound Design and composition by Ray Archie of Brooklyn Sound Lab
