Straight
March 7
, 2009
David Schmader's hilarious and subversive solo play about the world of conversion therapy, where gays and lesbians are reputedly "cured" of their homosexuality and made "straight." Plunging into the heart of this highly charged territory—from going undercover at "ex-gay" support groups in Seattle to an intensive crash course in Christian heterosexuality deep in the heart of Texas—writer/performer Schmader blends an essayist's insight with the spark of stand-up comedy to get to the bottom of what it means to be "straight."
In the Studio Theatre.
